Teammates are in excellent form, and the Timberwolves substitute inside player has also reduced their presence?

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors 117-93. After this game, the Timberwolves tied the total score of the series to 1-1, and both sides returned to the same starting line. Considering that the Timberwolves won a big victory, they may also have a certain psychological advantage.

In this game, the Timberwolves' substitute inside player Naz Reid still maintained enough competitiveness. Reed played 29 minutes and 35 seconds in the whole game, made 4 of 10 shots, and 3 of 8 from outside the three-point line, scoring 11 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. He also had 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +18. Reed showed relatively stable shooting ability on the offensive end, and he also had very good passing ability and support ability. With his tactical status not too high, he can also play the role of his sixth person well. Reed also performed well on the defensive end, and he was able to maintain a high level of concentration on the defensive end and provide the team with some defensive support. As a substitute, Reed's performance is already excellent enough. Considering that the other players of the team feel very good, Reed also reduced his presence and focused on other aspects, he also proved that he is a good team player.

In the NBA regular season this season, Reed played 72 games in 82 games, averaging 33.2 minutes per game, averaging 12 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.5 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 66.9% and a free throw percentage of 67.4%. In the playoffs, Reed averaged 26.3 minutes in the first seven games, with averaging 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 51.6%, his three-point shooting percentage was 45.9%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 63.6%.

Reed's performance in the regular season and playoffs has been very stable, and his offensive efficiency and his three-point shooting percentage can be maintained at a high level. It’s just that due to the playing time and tactical status, we can all intuitively feel that Reed’s personal abilities have not been fully utilized. Of course, this is not a bad thing, which also shows that the Timberwolves still have certain potential to explore, and the team still has some unused skills. I wonder if the Timberwolves will give Reed more playing time and higher tactical status in the next game. Can Reed, the super sixth man with both offense and defense, play a more important role in the team?
