  With White and Knueppel out, Charlotte put the ball in Naz Reid's hands and ran pick-and-roll through him. He had seven assists, including a one-handed pass to Moussa Diabate. Both hosts sell him finishing top two on the team in assists, citing Coby White, Dennis Schroder, Knueppel and maybe Brandon Miller.

  Haywood framed Minnesota's LaMelo Ball acquisition as getting a former All-Star at a discount because of a negative reputation 'tag'. He suggested Charlotte would have kept Ball without that tag, and Naz Reid is now in Charlotte. He credited Minnesota's front-office head, heard as 'Tim Conley'.

  • Walker compares Naz Reid with Miles Bridges: Bridges averaged about one post-up a game, and Reid in Minnesota averaged about one post-up and about one floater a game.

  • Walker Mehl: Starters played heavy minutes: Brandon Miller 25, Naz Reid 24 and Sion James 23. at 3:54
  • Walker Mehl: Host's view: Christian Anderson is a very quick processor in the pick-and-roll (slip passes, low dribbles, quick skip/spray passes). He argues one of Anderson's charged turnovers was really Liam McNeeley's fault for not slipping, and points to a later pick-and-roll where Anderson's bounce pass set up a floater for Naz Reid. at 13:03
  • Walker Mehl: Host's view: keeping Tidjane Salaun was the right decision and the one he would have made, though not as easy as many thought. Salaun is still the bigger asset, and the team added veteran experience through Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale and Naz Reid. at 25:17
