Naz Reid tests the free market, or chooses one of three among the Lakers, Clippers and Warriors!

After the Timberwolves missed the finals, the players waiting for renewal this year in the team include Randall, Naz Reed, Walker and others. According to US media reports: Naz Reed may be the first to test the free market! As the sixth man in the 2023-2024 season, Reed has a three-point shooting ability that is not inferior to Towns, which is relatively rare among big players.

Among the active NBA big men, there should be only four people who are able to shoot more than 37.5% of three-pointers throughout the season and average more than 1.5 three-pointers per game:

Reed: 37.9% of the regular season.

Downs: 42% in the regular season.

Porzingis: 41.2% in the regular season.

Grand Lopez: 37.3% of the regular season.

The big man has the ability to open up space and is very popular in modern basketball! So Reed has the confidence to take the lead in testing the free market and pursue teams with longer years and higher salaries. A team with super defenders can undoubtedly better play Reed's three-point shooting ability. Let’s take a look at which team needs Reed more.

Lakers:

With Doncic, James and others holding the ball, Reed will get more three-point open opportunities than in the Timberwolves. And the Lakers also need an inside support.

Clippers:

Zubac currently does not have a good substitute center. Zubac, who has just been selected for the second team of the best defensive team, forms the double tower. Harden can fully mobilize Reed's potential.

Warriors:

Roonie's position in the Warriors is becoming more and more embarrassing, and Rooney is also facing the expiration of contract this summer. Reed and Curry's outside pick-and-roll are extremely threatening.
