Brooklyn Nets big man Noah Clowney feels extremely confident about what he and Nic Claxton can do on the court together defensively.

(via YES Network):

Chris Shearn: “How about Nic Claxton? Getting Nic back in the fold and what he has meant to you so far?”

Clowney: “Clax is my vet, obviously. He’s been there a lot, just having him around. And then the fact of what he brings to the table. I think we have I wouldn’t say similar playstyles, but we do a lot of things that are similar, especially on the defensive end. And so, being able to take notes, listen, and just build. Take some things from him and take some things from my own, and put them together.”

Chris Shearn: “How dominant can you two be on the floor at the same time on the defensive end especially?”

Clowney: “I think we can be one of the best, truthfully. I don’t usually say things like that, but I done seen. Obviously, limited reps. I think if we do what we supposed to, we can be really good defensively.”
