So much of the talk throughout pre-season and early in regular season revolved around who the Nets should get to either play the 5 or back-up the 5. Get beyond discussions of the KD and Ky sagas and Steve Nash’s coaching ability and you’ll see fans texted and talked endlessly about who the Nets should trade to get Myles Turner or John Collins? Or who they should bring in for workouts, DeMarcus Cousins? Derrick Favors? Hassan Whiteside?
That is less an issue now with Nic Claxton dominating on the court and on leader boards, currently topping the NBA in both blocks per game and shooting percentage.
