Man he's a prototypical stretch big at the next level. His intellect seems to be adequate. He can shoot, handle it and work on the block. I need to see what type of defender he is to determine how his game will truly translate to the NBA. But offensively he the talent for sure. If he can defend. Top 15 pick is where I would rank him if he declares.
Reid is pretty raw, but his game should really translate to the NBA. I’m surprised that he’s not higher on draft boards, he’s got a lot of potential. Why not pick him higher? Gonna be a sleeper IMO. Reminds me of Caleb Swanigan.
I like him. I'm a huge fan actually, since high school. Devastated he's not coming back. I think he has lottery potential. If he stayed and preserved eligibility, he could make over 2 mil in his first year. Arrogance is the mistake of all these 5 star recruits. They're not very smart, but very prideful. He was very promising last year, but very raw, and most of the time he was not a real factor. All the mocks say he's going to go in the 2nd, some say that even is optimistic. But of course he thinks they don't know what they're talking about, though they do. He'll not be guaranteed a contract, even if he signs one it will be 800k. If you're a projected lottery pick then one and done is great. If you're on the borderline of not getting drafted, then...again, why so arrogant? He needs to work on his handles, particularly dribbling lower. He wants to play like a guard, which means he has to lose weight. A lot of weight. These are all long term projects. Even one year is very generous. Big guys develop later. I'm sad because I've seen this story many times before, it always ends the same way. I still hope the best for him, but clearly his greatest weakness isn't in his hands but in his head.
4 years later and would you still agree with this assessment? Seems like he did the right thing by going and lost the weight and is playing like a sf/pf now!
@@semaj6720 I do. He spent 4 years making close to the league min before signing his first real contract. Aaron Nesmith, a strictly worse player, was the 14th pick in the ensuing draft, signed a contract for 11 million in 3 years out the gate, which is almost double the 6 million Naz Reid made in his first 4 years. This, again, despite the fact that Reid is a substantially better player. I never thought he was an untalented player and that's not what I said in my comment either. And maybe he won't look back and miss the 5, 6, 7 million that he missed out on, given his new contract. But if we're strictly speaking financially, was it a poor decision? Yes.
@@MoneyMan6969 because as the math aligns above he made the strictly worse financial decision. And this is not rehabilitated by the fact that he is getting more money later, because to be frank most athletes end up using up their money. So missing out on millions because of a poor and impulsive financial decision does in fact hurt.
@@asecmimosas4536 he signed a guaranteed 40 million dollar deal. It wasn’t a poor decision. He was right. The scouts were wrong. He should have been a lottery pick. Oh well.
If we keep recruiting these super talented Pros, we won't have any long term succes with our basketball program! These players are not the way to go! Youngsters like Skylard Mays should be our primary targets! Let's get a proven, winning coach, who is capable of recruiting high school athletes who are talented both on and off the court!
No more one season and out recruits for the LSU basketball program! Let these fools go play somewhere else! We don't need these over rated "starlets". Let's recruit smart, talented kids, who are willing to give their very best effort while in college for at least 3 full seasons and, then move on to the NBA, in a timely fashion! Let's just remember the fiasco Ben Simmonds turned out to be while "playing" in Baton Rouge. The NBA should at least undertake the oain and effort to develop these high school super stars right out of high school or, even Junior high! These "players" do not belong in college! I rather settle for a good competitive basketball, LSU team. Instead of a team made up of these 16 - 17 year old "Pros"...
He used to play football and was a 5 9 guard or something. Then he grew to be 6 11 or some shit. For those wondering why he plays kinda like a guard
Welcome to Minnesota! How in the hell was he not drafted?
Idek
can't defend, which is the #1 thing that gets big guys out of the league.....
No cause these scouts don't know talent just watch all these that got picked over him and bol bol gonna regret it just watch
Lol if he so lazy why did he lead lsu in scoring and rebounds
@@dorlisamoothery865 nba scouts who get paid to do this don't know talent, but you do... aight....

Projecting to the 2nd round. He showed up to the combine grossly overweight and out of shape.

This dude is a bucket!!! How’d he not get drafted!?! Lol Mn got a steal I’m actually excited to be a timberwolves fan this year
Plays Just like Andray Blatche
Welcome to Minnesota!!!🐺🐺🐺
His ball handling for a center is very good.
Who’s here after he won the sixth man of the year? 🐺
two words baby

How did this dude not get drafted?!?
A star in the making
W
I see DeMarcus Cousins as a decent comp. Passes well, can shoot the open three, and bodies guys inside.
He plays like Montrezl Harrell
Cobra The Gamer if Montreal Harrell could hit step back js
Not remotely close lmao
@@pauljones4519 Yeah really lol. Just because he has the same skin tone and hair type. Def Montrezl lol
How in the world that guy went undrafted!!!?? 🤷♂️
Great vid naz reminds me of a young shaq in the paint but he can drop 3's on you he is going to be something special GEAUX TIGERS!!!! 💜💛💜💛💜💯🔥🔥💪🏀☝🏆
He's the complete opposite of shaq lol
Sorry! Not even close!
Wolves are making big moves.
Dude is a right handed Chris Bosh.
Him and Towns omg 😮👀🤯and say this cuz Naz is gonna show up in summer league wolves should give a chance start him at 4 with Karl Towns
You predicted it bro, the kid did great.
Foreal dude is so skilled
Who's here after the draft
Horford like...
Better (flashier) handles...
This dude would fit so nice on the Suns
Me too
nba trying to make these one n done guys work hard for a contract.this man is a top 20 player no way he should have been undrafted..smfh
This dude is Deandre Jordan with a jump shot 😩
the fact he didn’t get drafted is ridiculous
Nasty
lets go wolves
Wolves franchise turning around in a good way!!
idk i don’t think lsu used his skill set the right way, their guards were savages though
Naz Reid
Dear Lakers!
Nice video do Kevin Porter Jr next
Lil Dagga lol he ain’t play that much games
Gimme like 5 players, I’ll do him to
2K KENNY Highlights ok
Offensive skill sets look nice but what does he bring on defense...
macslim187 fuck defense. We should’ve drafted cam instead of culver
Idk if him and towns would of fit tho
Lottery pick
Myles Powell highlights
That is my cousin
No it’s not
Poor mans Montrezl Harrell
You sure?
@@jonathancortes9005 bad take yikes
I think he sees himself as a 3-4 forward. I support the dream, but he needs a much lower body fat % for that...
he almost fell over himself on a jab step at :50, chill plz

Lol hitting they ass
He was a problem in hs
Reminds me of Deandre Jordan who shoots 3’s
Guard?
He plays like a guard , he is a center
He used to be short and plays guard position. Then he hit a HUGE growth spurt

How not drafted??
Easy... Look how crapy this guy moves - gonna get wrecked in the nba!
He has amazing ball handling for a center and a solid 3 point shot. I think he has a chance.
