4 Timberwolves who could get axed from Finch's playoff rotation

2. Naz Reid

Naz Reid is a highly skilled big man who is well-loved by his teammates and the Wolves fanbase. Which is easily understandable, as he went from an undrafted prospect to a high-level role player.

He was a hell of a find by the Wolves' brass and absolutely fell in their lap. He's averaged 13.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 42.1 percent from deep on 4.9 attempts. 

He's made more treys than Karl Anthony-Towns and is stellar at shooting off the catch. And no center has more games with five or more threes than him this season. 

Again, he's been sensational. 

But for every bit as good as he is on offense, he's just as bad on defense. Kyle Anderson and Rudy Gobert are significantly better defenders. 

In addition, he tends to turn the ball over a bit more than one would like, which matters significantly in the postseason, as every offensive possession is pivotal. 

Which is partly why Chris Finch seemingly trusts Kyle Anderson more, when Anthony Edwards is getting double-teamed.

Also, Finch likes to play small, at times. This could reduce Reid's playing time in the postseason, despite him being a formidable shooter.
