The 24-year-old has looked good in the preseason, averaging 17.3 points across three games. In 19 minutes against the New York Knicks on Saturday he went for 22 points, a block, a steal, an assist and a rebound, shooting 5-of-8 from three.

Reid was a key contributor off the bench for the Wolves last season, a role he really grew into, culminating in a strong March (15.3 PPG, 4.8 RPG) before a left scaphoid fracture ended his season.

The Timberwolves are expecting him to come up big in the 2023-24 season. Well, bigger, given his recent growth spurt.
