Amid a rough season for UGA basketball there were quite a few bright spots. Including Sophomore Nicolas Claxton, who gained some interest from NBA scouts. Claxton will have a decision to make regarding declaring for the NBA, but in all likelihood, he will be returning for his Junior season. Claxton can declare for the draft and still return for school if he doesn’t sign with an agent. He’ll have an opportunity to lead a talented team with a top 10 recruiting class coming in.
Claxton needs the off-season to continue to develop his outside shot. He made 28% of his three pointers in 2018-19, which isn’t going to cut it for NBA scouts.
