They arent paying Naz Reid 25M per season to play 15 to 20MPG behind Randle only. Beringer won't touch the court unless there's an injury, foul trouble or a trade.
Naz Reid is 6'9, 235 pounds and has the game of a wing.
And how often has he been used as a SF? You're talking about situational lineups when im talking about the average lineups.
Wolves got McDaniels taking the bulk of minutes there and they got some more seasoned young up and coming players who will probably crack the rotation to get some of those minutes.
You're both right. Naz will play many of the backup center minutes AND he's definitely not a reliable back up center on the defensive end. Rudy's 33. They scaled back his minutes and games last year to keep him for fresh for the playoffs. While JB probably won't have a regular rotation spot hell get minutes when Rudy takes a night off, has a nagging injury, gets into foul trouble, can't switch, etc. He won't be absolutely buried on the Wolves bench because the only other guy on the roster that can even pretend to protect the rim is Jaden McDaniels. There'll be minutes to play if he can play them.
