The Nets paid Nic Claxton expecting him to be an anchor, not a millstone. They bet big — nearly nine figures big — on him getting better. Instead, he’s gotten worse.
And he knows it, admitting he just hasn’t lived up to his own standards this season.
“I’m not pleased with nothing, honestly,” Claxton said. “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.”
