Duane Rankin: Jusuf Nurkic understands importance of physicality vs. Wolves, but sees other side favoring Phoenix. “They play with 2 bigs all the time. It’s a challenge for us, but also challenge for them to keep our best players out of the floor. It’s going to be really hard for them.” #Suns pic.twitter.com/P04CsyPXAp

That continues now, even after April 29, 2022. The Timberwolves, in an elimination Game 6 of a playoff series with Memphis, listed him as out for “personal reasons.” That’s because earlier that day, Rudy Roundtree, the man whom Naz and everyone around him credit with making sure Naz made it in the NBA, died at age 60.

Naz declared for the 2019 draft, but he was a projected mid-second-round pick. He ended up playing video games as a distraction at his draft party in Atlantic City. He went undrafted, now a free agent, and he already knew how he wanted to try to find an NBA home. “I felt like, all right, who calls me first, that’s who wanted me to be on their team,” Naz said. It was the Timberwolves. Naz agreed to a two-way deal that night. And after he had a great showing at the summer league in Las Vegas, the Wolves tore up the two-way and signed him to a four-year contract.

Naz was positioned perfectly for free agency, and “Sheila motivated me, pushed me and navigated me the same way Rudy did,” he said. This time, it was Sheila working the phones with Naz’s agent, Sean Kennedy, as they agreed to a three-year deal (player option in the third year) for nearly $42 million with the Wolves last summer.
