It’s been reported that last season, when Nic Claxton only played 187 NBA minutes, advance scouts from other teams would gather along the sidelines during warm-ups to get a close-up look at the then 20-year-old.
Maybe it was because they just wanted to see why their teams missed on him in the 2019 Draft when he was taken with the first pick in the second round (a Knicks pick that the Nets had acquired in the Jahlil Okafor trade with Philly). More likely, they wanted to gauge his skill sets for their GMs who might at some point want to seek him in a trade.
