Naz Reid Confident Of Thriving Under Bigger Expectations
1 year agoMinnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid is eager to prove that he is well worthy of his three-year, $42 million extension. "Bigger role, bigger expectations," Reid told The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski. "So I'm definitely going to show I've improved, in every facet of the game, maturity, basketball or whatever the case may be. Higher pay comes higher responsibility. This is what comes with it. So I'm ready for it." The 23-year-old averaged only 18.4 minutes and started just 11 games for Minnesota last term, but he was still able to post career-high marks with 11.5 points and 4.9 rebounds. He sounds ready to do a lot more for the team, although Reid's situation in Minneapolis is a bit complicated due to the presence of frontcourt stars Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns.
