Reid rather than Gobert?
This may seem silly. This may seem controversial. This may sound absurd, but I think Naz Reid needs to play more and Rudy Gobert needs to play less. Either he or Karl-Anthony Towns can try to defend Jokic, neither of them will do much worse than Gobert. With Reid on the court, not only does it stretch the defense with his three-point shooting, but it speeds up the pace of the game on both offense and defense. He is the Sixth Man of the Year and showed he can produce in the first two games of the series. In Game 2, the T’Wolves put together one of the best defensive performances we’ve seen this century, and they did it without Rudy Gobert. It’s a tough decision for Chris Finch to make, but opting for Reid instead of DPOY might be the only way to slow this team down.
