Nic Claxton

Save your team from a turnover, collect two points as a reward. Nicolas Claxton uses every bit of his 6-foot-11 frame to snatch a dangerous pass out of the air and away from the clutches of a Toronto Raptors defender before using his momentum to finish the possession. The Brooklyn Nets big man slithers his way past the defense with two dribbles and some shifty strides into the lane, turning a near steal into a layup. Claxton scored 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting with 11 rebounds and four blocks, helping his squad to its first victory of the season, a 109-105 decision on October 21, 2022.
