He's highly athletic and raw, but he had basically free reign on the Nets. They were desperate to find ANY starting caliber center and Claxton still couldn't rise to that occasion.
The way I see it, why are the Nets more than okay to let go a role player, on a team that is literally starved for ancillary talent? Big red flag to me.
With Claxton, the attraction is simply the type of player he is - able to play the 5 and move his feet. It would just be another attempt at finding that special Bam Adebayo type, just like Nerlens Noel was, just like WCS was, etc. It might not pan out (those guys didn't) but I'd be into taking a shot if the price was right, myself.
