NEW ORLEANS – When the Timberwolves made the trade for Rudy Gobert, one of the tangential questions related to the move was: What will happen to Naz Reid?
Reid, undrafted out of LSU, had developed into a solid rotation piece in three seasons for the Wolves. He was entering the final year of his contract, and now he was looking at getting buried on the depth chart behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Gobert.
Reid refused to linger on the bench, and every chance he got to play early in the season, he made it harder for coach Chris Finch to pull him off the floor.
