    Naz Reid impressed when he received opportunities in 2019-20 (his rookie season), ranking inside the top-250 in both categories formats.

    Reid averaged just 16.5 minutes per game but put up per game averages of 9.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 threes in 30 contests. When Karl-Anthony Towns went down with an injury, Reid stepped up to the plate. In the Wolves' final 11 games to close out the year, he ranked 112th in 9-cat and was averaging 11.7 PPG and 6.5 RPG in 25.4 MPG. His per-36 numbers were mouthwatering in sporadic opportunities prior to KAT's injury and he made the stat-heads look smart when he capitalized on the big bump in playing time with the Wolves. As long as he's being blocked by Towns his value will be limited, but if either one is moved Reid will be a fairly tantalizing fantasy prospect.
