Georgia basketball F Nic Claxton addresses NBA decision

Nic Claxton, the Georgia basketball junior forward, decided to test the waters of the NBA Draft this offseason and enter the NBA Combine while connecting with an agent.

Like many college players, Claxton opted to receive valuable feedback from the NBA world before making his final decision.

Per NBA rules, all players officially entering the draft will make their decision by May 29th. At the annual SEC Meetings in Birmingham, Coach Tom Crean told reporters that they would likely be hearing from Claxton by the end of the day.
