Naz Reid talks about the secret to the Gray Wolves' effectiveness in developing young players' talents despite not playing them:

"No matter what day of the week it is or what's going on, you've got to stay in the gym. The most important thing is to stay in the gym and keep training, I think that's key. That's how you get to that All-Star level with Edwards and Randle. Their hard work is there for all to see, and as a young player you're going to be able to emulate that, and it's going to be passed on from generation to generation. When we were in a similar situation, we never questioned why the veterans were on hiatus, we aspired to be them. Everyone has to go through a growth process, but keeping up the training is the key."
