That's his thing, exaggerated and aggressive certainty. It undercuts my ability to take him seriously sometimes.
LOL, I mostly agree with your sentiments, but re: Claxton, he literally isn't an NBA player right now...because he's barely played in the NBA, and the last time he played was almost a year ago.
He's constantly injured, and IDK, for a young big to have this kind of issue with his knees for this long tells me this is going to be a constant thing and he's not gonna have a very long career, just because of injuries alone. And on top of all that, he was a 2nd round pick for a reason. He showed flashes, but he was also clearly not a consistent rotation player that warranted significant minutes yet. So he still needs to prove himself as an actual player, on top of actually being healthy enough to get on the court. Two huge question marks imo.
Honestly think we should trade him for more of a sure thing while his value is still there, because this chronic knee issue really concerns me.
Read what you just wrote...what value does he remotely have? He hasn't played a game in nearly a year.
