Nic Claxton knows he has to be better ... a lot better, a lot of the time.
“I’m not pleased with nothing, honestly,” Claxton said this week. “I need to be better, more consistent.
“Everywhere: rebounding, free throws, protecting the rim, more blocks, I need to do everything better. Be more aggressive on offense. Everything.”
The Brooklyn Nets had a lot of confidence in their near 7-footer going into this season. They gave him a $97 million deal which could reach nine figures if he meets some incentives. But an off-season injury and other frustrations has left everyone disappointed.
