Naz isn't even the best bench player on Wolves. Its Slomo!

I'm not really much of a fan of sixth man award as it usually goes to highest bench scorer, many of whom are sieves on defense, rather than best bench player. I just want Naz to play better defense and finally have a positive/plus minus year.

The Naz we saw down the stretch just before the hand injury was arguably the best bench player on the team - even better than Slo Mo. If you look at the entire season, Slo Mo was definitely the best. But I think Cool was basing his thought on how Naz played down the stretch, which is a reasonable thing to do when speculating about a young player like Naz. I’m not going to predict that Naz will be our best bench player next season, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Yeah, I'm basing my thought on the natural progression of NAZ. He takes a leap every year and I don't see why this year will be any different.
