Accordingly, the name honored was “big man” Naz Reid (Minnesota Timberwolves) when he surpassed two other players, Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) and Bobby Portis Jr. (Milwaukee Bucks) to receive this title.
While Karl Anthony-Towns or Rudy Gobert are out, Naz Reid is the name ready to fill the void left in the squad as he can play well in both the number 4 and number 5 roles.
In addition, the American striker also possesses remarkable defensive ability and high-damage 3-throws. Naz Reid’s presence on the field not only helps the Minnesota Timberwolves not hesitate to let their pillars rest, but also gives coach Chris Finch more tactical options.
This season, Naz Reid is having the best performance of his career with an average of 13.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in the Regular Season. Speaking about receiving the title “Super Sub” in the NBA, Naz Reid expressed: ” I thought this was a joke when talking to my teammates about this award, but anyway, for me, I still always want to maintain the best form.
When I come on the field from the bench, I always keep in mind that we must do our best even if we are ahead of the opponent or losing our advantage .
