 always plays with that little chip on his shoulder you know he wants the big assignments and he was miffed that he wasn't part of that all defensive team last season. Yeah and don't think for a second Nancy that that's not on his mind it's kind of like a revenge tour year for him because he is one of the better defenders in the NBA you look at two and a half blocks per game that is an impact that cannot go unnoticed because he does it night in and night out he defends players best players best bigs on the other and he does it at a high level and he's playing with this type of intensity that this team really needs and this is a team full of mainly wing players a lot of guard oriented players and Claxton offers size and length and he does it on both ends of the floor so a key cog to their puzzle moving forward
