Last Wednesday, the Minnesota Timberwolves signed Naz Reid to a three-year, $42 million contract extension.
Reid, 23, is coming off a breakout season in which he averaged 11.5 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. He was a key contributor off the bench for the Timberwolves, and he showed the ability to score in a variety of ways.
The extension is a major investment in Reid, who is seen as a key part of the Timberwolves’ future. He is a versatile big man who can score inside and out, and he is also a good rebounder and defender.
The Timberwolves are hoping that Reid can continue to develop into a star player. He has the potential to be a double-double machine, and he could also be a valuable asset on the defensive end.
Reid now was part of a recent Jeopardy airing. While he wasn’t directly part of a question, one of the contestants was a Minnesota Timberwolves fan. This is where she revealed that her cat is named NAZ REID (all caps).
