I think every Minnesota Timberwolves fan understands that Naz Reid is a key part of the team's success. He's one of the most beloved players in franchise history. Everybody's favorite two words are Naz Reid. However, the first 15 games of the season are showing just how crucial Reid is to the Wolves' success.
In the Wolves' 10 wins, Reid is averaging 14.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists on 49.1/39.7/84.6 shooting splits. Conversely, in the Wolves' five losses, Reid is averaging 10.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists, on 40.8/33.3/37.5 shooting splits. Likewise, when Reid scores 20-plus points, the Wolves are 3-0, but when he scores fewer than five points, they're just 1-3.
