Nicolas Claxton earns high praise from NetsMarch 25, 2020 | 06:23 PM

Nicolas Claxton had been working out with Kevin Durant prior to the NBA season's suspension. Analysis: The rookie also earned high praise from teammate Spencer Dinwiddie, who called Claxton the "second-most talented player on [the Nets]" -- it's unclear if Dinwiddie put Claxton behind Kevin Durant, Kyring Irving or himself. Claxton battled a sore left shoulder in February, but that doesn't seem like a lasting concern with the season on hiatus. Former Nets coach Kenny Atkinson believed that a reliable 3-point shot would make Claxton a dangerous stretch-PF option and he's on the fantasy radar no matter how the 2019-20 season concludes.
