Nic Claxton: “I’ve grown a lot as a facilitator”

Brooklyn Nets big man Nic Claxton talked about his improved passing ability after last night’s 119-101 home win vs. the New Orleans Pelicans (14 points/11 rebounds/10 assists/3 blocks/5-9 FG/4-6 FT/+24 +/-).

*7 assists in the first half*

*averaging a career-high 4.5 APG*

(via YES Network):

Justin Shackil: “You get the triple-double. You check off the assist checkbox on the first thing on the to-do list there. What does that say about what you’ve been able to do in that department this season?”

Claxton: “Just seeing the floor, finding my teammates. I just feel like I’ve grown a lot as a facilitator. And then, when you’ve got teammates like Mike [Porter Jr.] over there always open, always making shots — it makes it pretty easy.”
