The Minnesota Timberwolves’ bench woes outside of Naz Reid have been an issue all season. There isn’t a second guy that can be counted on nightly as there was last season (and there were really three with Reid, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Donte DiVincenzo).
Chris Finch has been playing the same four guys off the bench of late (since Terrence Shannon Jr. injured his foot on Christmas Day) in Reid, Bones Hyland, Mike Conley, and Jaylen Clark. The deep bench pieces get to see action in garbage time minutes (where, of course, any production should be taken with a grain of salt), but Johnny Juzang is showing Finch that perhaps he should bereceiving meaningful minutes to help out with the bench problem.
