The anchor is staying for the long haul so let's take a look at what he has to check off of his list on the franchise's leaderboards.
The starting big man in the middle for the Nets, Nic Claxton, has played for Brooklyn his entire career. He played nine games for the Long Island Nets and made 15 appearances in his rookie campaign. As one of the league's top centers as of 2024, Claxton thrived in the paint, and he put up 11.8 points and 9.9 rebounds at an effective 66% shooting percentage last year.
In a total of five seasons with this organization, he has averaged 10.3 points and 7.8 rebounds along with 1.8 blocks. Following his four-year contract extension with the Brooklyn Nets, Claxton will be unlocking even more of his untapped potential for the franchise.
Going into the new season, Claxton could make progress in breaking the most rebounds per game record for the franchise next year. Buck Williams leads with 11.9 rebounds a contest while Claxton sits at 7.8 rebounds a game. Another record he can close in on is the one for total blocks. He has accumulated 434 for not just himself, but for the Nets. Claxton is 25 blocks away from Sam Bowie who sits at 10th on the All-Time list with 459 blocks.
