Naz Reid is finding his place with the Hornets, and Charlotte is starting to see the payoff
That means the Charlotte Hornets could use a boost from prized offseason acquisition Naz Reid, which was exactly what happened in their impressive 124-112 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Spectrum Center on Monday night.
Key points
- Slowly, Reid is becoming acclimated to his new surroundings and asserting himself as one of the veteran leaders on a roster laden with youth.
- It’s been nearly two weeks since Lee benched Reid for the entire second half of Charlotte’s loss in Detroit on Oct.
- You’ll get my best version of myself, of course, but I’m just kind of trying to figure out where I fit in.” Don’t think there’s any animosity lingering between Reid and Lee, either.
That’s not really me or my personality.” Reid went a little deeper in describing his new reality, “I think in due time, if you know me, you know what I bring to the table,” he said.
Additional details
- Pumping in 25 points and snatching 13 rebounds, Reid took turns tag-teaming with Grayson Allen, fueling an offense that has had its share of difficulty.
- “He’s getting a feel for the pace that we want to play with early in the clock,” Hornets coach Charles Lee said.
- 28, all because Reid “didn’t meet the standards.” Both insist the incident is in the rearview mirror.
- “In any sport, when you are super competitive, that stuff happens,” Reid said.
- “Once the ball and that initial thrust doesn’t get an advantage that we want, I think he’s just finally kind of slowing down in the half court.
