NBALSU????
Hey would you look at this: some NBA/LSU content!
Former Tiger and current Minnesota Timberwolf Naz Reid was voted the NBA’s 6th Man of the Year after a career-year for Reid.
Reid’s win is historic on two fronts: he won the closest race in the awards’ history and he became the first player in Minnesota’s history to win 6th Man of the Year. Reid averaged a career-best 13,5 points and 5.2 rebounds, and he was a key piece to helping Minnesota achieve its second-best record in franchise history (56-26). Reid and his T’Wolves are the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs and are currently up 2-0 in their first round series against the Phoenix Suns.
I’ll never understand why Reid went undrafted coming out of LSU, but he’s certainly made a name for himself in the league. Reid is the third undrafted player in NBA history to win 6th Man of the Year, and last summer he agreed to a three-year, $42 million extension with the Wolves. LSU may not send as many Tigers to the NBA as it does the NFL or MLB, but it’s nice seeing Reid be so successful.
