How This UNDRAFTED Free Agent Became An NBA Icon 

We are extremely lucky. He said it feels like a home away from home. This team is different

Pieces are falling into place. It is awesome.

Stop your idiotic comments.

He’s gonna be such a problem if he continues to evolve.

He can opt out after next season. If he doesn't, his loyalty is off the charts. 🐺 can pay him big once Rudy's 💰 comes off the 📚 but still so far away. Ant, Jaden, & Naz seem like they made a pact to stay together..

LFG

Straight up. I almost put that clip in the video lol. NAZ REID.

@hardwood_yt thanks for the awesome video btw :) always glad to see naz reid propaganda from a fellow ball-knower!

Well, Jaden McDaniels also worked out. Nobody had huge expectations from him. He not only exceeded expectations, he solidified them by being in a starting 5. For example, this year, the Wolves drafted Leonard Miller, and he has a similar build like McDaniels. Can the Wolves make him McDaniels's twin? It's hard to say, so far he's putting good numbers in the G-League with 9 games played, averaging 17.7pts, 6.8rebounds and just over 1 block per game - all that in 30 minutes of play time per game. McDaniels stands at 88kgs (194lbs) and 206cm (6' 7 1/2 '') and Miller is 95kgs(209lbs) at 208cm (6'8'') . Very similar body types. Miller seems more like Jarred Vanderbilt type of player.

@@Triumphator616who’s that? We call him Leonard Buckets baby🎄🐺🎄🐺🎄💯😂✌️

Also people love rooting for talented big men with finesse that aren't superstars, Andray Blatche for example.

LFG baby. Im about to hit up another one here by the end of the year. Been to a couple myself so far

Perfectly put.

Naz could mess around and take KAT’s spot 👀

Me too that's why I made the video haha

For real man

Jokic things otherwise LOL.

@@ricardojuanlopeznaranjo6651 Jokic would have his hands full guarding Naz.

@@frostyflakkes2692 Yes 😂. Naz would not. He is not strong or intelligent enough to guard Jokic, so he Will go and guard anyone else.

I tried to add in more clips of it, but it just didn't fit too well. But yes, it's something you just gotta experience in person.

Facts! I have season tickets and man the stadium GOES CRAZY when Naz CHECKS IN 😂😂😂😂😂

That Miami game for the home opener was something else. The broadcast couldn't quite capture how DEAFENING the chants of "NAZ REID! NAZ REID! NAZ REID!" were.

Honestly, every sports franchise has that guy, and when they live up to their potential its an amazing thing. In 2022 when the padres' star shortstop got suspended for half the season, we had some relatively unknown korean player sub in for him. Everytime he's up to bat, the entire park is cheering his name. Fast forward about a year and that same unknown Korean player is outplaying guys on contracts that are 1/3 of a billion dollars and making a legit MVP case. It's always special to see an underdog that no analysts or commentators believe in make it big and prove everyone but the loyal fans wrong.

Nah you got it backwards. The joke was like 2 years old by the time we learned Jaden was in on it.

that's what I thought. I thought Jaden was the one that exploded it even more, but Timberwolves twitter started it. I could be wrong though.

@hardwood_yt I believe it started on r/timberwolves, but that could also be wrong--surely it was basically simultaneous. Either way, it was a great "he's one of us!" moment when the tweet about Jaden doing it broke!

Big cap right here the Naz Reid memes have been going on since his rookie year

I don’t even think I can call him a 5 anymore 😭

Dudes good but come on that doesn't even make sense.

BET THE MORTGAGE.

@@hardwood_ytWE CELEBRATE

Jaden as well. It was such a brilliant move in hindsight

Two words. Three points

He has a great post game when he needs it tho.

@@blakelarson5005 which is he basically only uses after a smaller defender is switched onto him.

I think Dane Moore said on the most recent pod with Kyle that he is no longer calling Naz a big lol

🐺🐺🐺

Naz Reid

Naz Reid

Facts man. He's got the best attitude and energy

How can you not be a fan of this guy? He went undrafted and worked to get to where he is now and now he is the X factor on the best team in the league. Super awesome

agreed

he's averaging like 22 i think with him out?

he's the best

LMAO. Come onnnn

NAZ REID.

Naz Reid.

Ayeee that’s hype!! Let’s go

Yessir. It’s a great one

please.

Naz Reid.

AYEEEEE COME ON

Wizard of Naz 🪄

Yes he was. He just didn’t fully materialize in that season into what was projected. It all worked out in the end

lmao 24 years young baby

I have zero clue except for one reason...NAZ REID.

Yessir!!!!! NAZ REID.

two words. three points

NAZ REID.

That is absolutely incredible. Welcome!!!!

casual

Naz Reid

He’s definitely not 264 anymore. Probably 230-240, he plays and moves lot more like a forward than a center now

yeah i think dane moore said two years ago he was down to like 237 coming into training camp@@Wooden_iguana14

That’s something I didn’t even know as a wolves fan. For real?

was there a tweet from him i included? ain't that dude super polarizing on wolves twitter? lmao

He loves Minnesota. And we love him

YESSSSS

💪🏻💪🏻

NAZ REID.

NAHHHH

If that is true, you sir are a legend

@@hardwood_yt Thanks, hopefully other people that witnessed it could come across this comment too just as proof.

AYEEE

AYEEEE

big jelly jel

I figured that out when I hear Sam bowie was drafted before MJ

And that’s why you should draft for fit and recognize how good your player development skills are

lmfaoooo
