He is clearly the sixth player in the league, but the Timberwolves inside player has not played a role at all?

In a previous NBA Western Conference Finals G5, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who returned to home, defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 124-94. After this game, the Thunder locked the total score of this series at 4-1 and successfully advanced to the finals. Next, they will compete with the Indiana Pacers and the winner of the New York Knicks Series for the NBA championship this season; while the Timberwolves fell on the stage of the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons.

In this game, the Timberwolves' substitute inside player Naz Reid's performance was very disappointing, and it can be said that he did not show his value at all. Reed scored 24 minutes and 05 seconds in the game, made 5 of 6 shots and 1 of 1 from outside the three-point line, scored 11 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks, and had 5 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -21. It seems that Reed's data is not bad, but 7 of his 11 points came from the irrelevant fourth quarter. He made various mistakes and wasted ball rights in the first quarter of the game, which directly led to the team's passiveness in the situation. It seems that Reed's data is not bad, and he seems to have a good offensive efficiency, but in fact his influence on the game is very limited, and it can even be said that there is no positive impact at all, which is definitely negative impact. Reed also needs to take a lot of responsibility for the team's defeat.

In the NBA regular season this season, Reed played 80 games in 82 games, averaging 27.5 minutes per game, averaging 14.2 points, 6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 46.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.6%. In the playoffs, Reed averaged 25 minutes in these 15 games, with averaging 10.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. He shot 50.9%, three-point shooting percentage 39.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 76%.

Reed's performance during the playoffs still declined to a certain extent compared to the regular season, especially in this round of the series, the situation also deteriorated significantly. Reed's presence on the court seems very limited. He is unable to show his due scoring ability, passing and supporting ability on the offensive end, and his contribution on the defensive end is not as good as in the previous two rounds of the series. It is also because the effect on the court is not ideal, and Reed's playing time has also decreased to a certain extent. Reed is undoubtedly a key figure on the team's bench. The Timberwolves' ability to pass the game and enter the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs is also closely related to his outstanding performance in the second team. However, as the top sixth player in the league, it is actually a bit worse to be able to perform like this.
