Wolves coach Ryan Saunders was providing a point of reference, not necessarily a player-to-player parallel.
Saunders was asked about Naz Reid. The 6-10 rookie center has gone from being undrafted in June out of LSU to being signed to a two-way deal by the Wolves to starring on the Wolves’ entry in the summer league in Las Vegas. He played so well the team converted that contract into a partly guaranteed multiyear NBA deal.
“The unique thing about Naz is that he’s got a similar skill set — and I hope you guys take this the right way — to KAT,” Saunders said.
