Claxton at his best is a game changing defender. But I’m not sure we’ve seen him at his best for some time now. He’s had some injuries and maturity issues maybe. He is even less an offensive threat than Gafford though, so doesn’t solve the issue of 5-Out in a playoff context. I think PJ can do some of that but needs another bigger body next to him, especially if he’s our best POA defender is guarding away from the rim. I think that’s where the love of Herb comes in.
