Claxton is a slender framed option at the power forward spot. In that way, he has more of a prototypical wing player look with a frontcourt friendly game. Claxton was effective here tricking opposing defenders around the rim with his ability to finish with his left hand at the basket.

Location: Bob Gibbons (Suwanee, Ga.)
Claxton is a left handed 4/5 player standing at 6-10. He has range to the arc. He is active in the land as he flashes the ball and aggressively finishes around the rim. He is equally active on the defensive end where he contest shots in the paint.
