Naz Reid in 'roller coaster' adapting to Timberwolves' frontcourt changes
Naz Reid of the Wolves drove on Oklahoma City guard Jalen Williams on Saturday at Target Center.Before the season, there was a lot of talk around the Timberwolves related to the role of Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns was making a position switch to power forward in order to accommodate center Rudy Gobert joining the roster.
Naz Reid had to make a similar change. If Reid wanted to carve out playing time while on the bench behind two All-NBA players, he had to adapt.
Reid said that adaptation has been a "roller coaster."
"Guarding different players and positions. Learning plays from different positions. It's very different actually," Reid said. "It's something I've got to get used to."
