Naz Reid Heads to Charlotte

Naz Reid, the undrafted big man who rose from benchwarmer to elite scorer and rebounder with Minnesota, is headed to Charlotte in a blockbuster trade for LaMelo Ball — and NBA legend Dwight Howard is already calling him an All-Star next season. After signing a massive 5-year, $125M deal, Reid’s versatility and 38% shooting from deep make him a perfect fit for the Hornets’ spacing-heavy offense. No longer overshadowed by Karl-Anthony Towns or Rudy Gobert, Reid now steps into a starting role with a team desperate for star power — and Howard’s bold prediction? He’s not just right — he’s betting on Reid to finally shine on the national stage.
