Warriors Dynasty Drafting: Moses Moody
Mody Mooses
Sleepy Freud (16 ♡):
Young Moses’ G-League stats at age 19 (yeah, G-League, but those 5 games are one of the few samples where he’s really been unleashed and allowed to spread his wings):
**29.8 pts per 36** on .609 true shooting
6.9 reb
2.0 stl
1.2 blk
Given his young age and great length, I’d still give him a decent shot to be a top 5-6 player in his draft class (maybe along with Mobley, Barnes, Cunningham, Green, and Kuminga).
Klon (11 ♡):
I am personally very high on Moody and feel that, if he gets playing time this season, will start breaking out. Being able to play in the Conference Finals for spot minutes at age 19 without a major hitch is nothing short of impressive. Many within the org expect him to provide some counting stats this season, which is high praise. If a time traveler from the future came and told us that Moody would be the most impactful player of the last three drafts for the Warriors this season, I would be unsurprised.
Goofus (9 ♡):
Like apparently everyone else here I’m extremely high on Moody. Besides all the reasons mentioned already, I’ve got two more:
1. His intangibles seem like they’re a major asset. From his BBIQ to his work ethic to his very likable personality, he seems to check all the boxes that you’d want in a teammate. I anticipate him being a low-maintenance guy that we can count on to make correct, smart plays and put the team first.
2. He seems like an ideal backcourt pairing with Poole. Much like Steph and Klay*, their personalities and games seem to be very complementary, especially Moody’s length and defensive abilities when paired with Poole’s playmaking.
*I’m not saying Poole and Moody will find the same levels of success that the Splash Brothers have, but yes I’m totally saying that and it’s 100% going to happen.
belilaugh (8 ♡):
> those 5 games are one of the few samples where he’s really been unleashed and allowed to spread his wings
Allow me to add in some extra Moody propaganda, my true passion. He got two games at the NBA level where he played 30+ minutes for a team without Curry/Draymond/Wiggins/etc. like he did in the G-League with @San Antonio and @Denver, and these were his averages (both were around 36 minutes so these are basically per 36):
25 points per game on 65% TS
48% from three on 11.5 (!) attempts per game
88% from the line on 4 attempts per game
5 rebounds per game
1 assist per game
.5 steals per game
2 turnovers per game
He also got about 27 minutes against Memphis in a blowout loss where Curry/Klay/Draymond did not play (Wiggins did though) and scored 18 on 61% TS, but I believe most of his points came after the game was essentially decided.
crusty quips (7 ♡):
Looks like the Dubs have announced some promotions/hirings to their operations department, including promoting Klay's brother to Nick U'ren's old job as video coordinator.
kinbote (7 ♡):
The Warriors were too deep last year for almost any rookie to really matter. It would have been different if someone had been hurt or if Klay had been unable to make his return. Now that they've undeepened themselves, we'll have a much better read on the kids at the end of this season.
mDuo13 (5 ♡):
These grades are fair, with what you have to work with, but also: consider how the team performed in those games and minutes where all the max-contract guys were out. Beat San Antonio, scared the heck out of Dallas (in the playoffs!), etc. The Warriors last season were *deeeeep* and the rookies were definitely part of it.
Win Shares tried to quantify a player's overall impact including how much they're available and actually trusted with playing time. So yeah, I think it'll show us something close to true value of a draft pick by the time the player's rookie contract is done. Until then, it's really sensitive to playing time, and the Chasing Wins Dubs simply didn't give the rookies the same learning space as other teams—especially with 15th man GPII becoming a phenomenon and the core 4 being healthy through most of the playoffs. You can see in the efficiency numbers that both Kuminga and Moody made the most of what time they got, and it's not hard to argue they'd be a lot higher in various rookie rankings if they'd been called to play more.
In the circumstances, I like Kerr and crew's approach, and I think a lot of us here are very excited to see how well the young guys do given more minutes this season. But it's also fair to say, the vets were getting time ahead of the rookies for good reason, so they have some growing to do to live up to our expectations.
On paper, this year's team (so far) is worse than last year's (turned out to be). But if Moody delivers on the potential we saw glimpses of last season, that does a lot to close the gap.
tempprofile (5 ♡):
C+ is fair from a dynasty perspective, but Moody was a completely different player from the beginning of February to the end of the season and even with the slow start ended up with higher eFG and TS than Bones Hyland. In the playoffs Moody made over 50% of his 3s for an EFG of 66% *and* played decent defense. Kispert and Trey Murphy III were a little better during the regular season, but they are both 3-5 years older. They should be better. The Warriors should be thrilled that they got Moody at 14.
Alas Phood Fight (4 ♡):
I will definitely say, there is some tough grading in this process. I have a hard time giving a grade on a single season performance, unless the test is based on 'this year or bust'. A dynasty is, by definition, a period of rule over a protracted period of time. Therefore, a test of someone's contribution to the 'dynasty' should include more years, even if some of those years are projections and subject to debate. C is for culture, and considering how important culture is to winning in this organization, if a player exhibits that they are a cultural fit, to me that is a C grade as the baseline, regardless of strength of play. There are no D or F grades on the Warriors. Anyone below a C wasn't a cultural fit, and thus not a Warrior. My next grade is on System Fit. If a player shows that they can play within the Warrior's offensive and defensive schemes, then that gives any player a B. My final test is can the player excel in multiple facets of the game. And this is where A grades come out for me. In Sum
Culture. (you need a C to get in the door.)
System. (you need to B a part of the system)
Excel in the System. (when you give up selfish Attachments, your A-game will Arrive)
My grades would be different because I would include projections based on these factors. In my book,
JK has a ? on Culture (which I personally disregard and attribute to youth).
Wiseman a ? on System (is this just Wiseman or is the team responsible for some of this. I mean, they didn't draft him to be Looney.)
And Moody a ? on Excelling in the system. (Does he have a ceiling beyond very good?)
In the end, my grades all end up higher, but I admit, I am projecting contributions to the "Dynasty" which I believe extends beyond last season.
Re-watching the amazing Warriors defense, by Being… (and how you came to DNHQ)
Another mega comment
crusty quips (22 ♡):
Your addendum question made me reflect for a minute on how deep the roots of this community really go back. If you include DNHQ, LGW, and GSOM as part of our sports blog ancestry, this community extends back to 2006, before the age of Curry and even before We Believe. I didn't start lurking until 2010 and didn't comment until 2014, but I can still remember the days when Atma Brother ONE was the big dog and guys like Spider Jerusalem, IQofaWarrior, J-RIDAH and R Dizzle roamed the comment section. A good handful of folks still here today can probably remember it even better than I can as they were active commenters even back in the day, like Sleepy and beli among others.
Some of those old guys have departed to other mediums like Feltbot, Tony.psd, or everyone's favorite grump EvanZ, but regardless of whether they are still out in the ether or not, the community has persisted through their departure by a constant infusion of fresh new talent, much like an NBA team reloads through the draft and free agency every year. It might be getting a little too meta but much like Apricot's series about the Warriors and evaluating their success in the draft, I think that this community has drafted extremely well over time, especially during these modern days of DNHQ where there is no distant corporate overlord dictating community standards. The FO of this place has also done very well in understanding which players to eh, be traded away, so to speak. The constant infusion of new commenting talent combined with the creative and constant content (as well as judicious moderation) by the staff has resulted in the flourishing capital of Dubs fandom that we enjoy today.
I guess I just wanted to call out something that is pretty unique/special about this place. The wastes of the internet are littered with the ruins of extinct communities, some that persisted and boomed for many years, only to meet their extinction when external forces like web-hosting conflicts or corporate buyouts engulfed them. Some message boards don't die off entirely but carry on like a sad husk of what they once were, the core of what made them a special community scattered to the winds due to any number of reasons that cause groups to fracture and drift apart. Digital communities are just like cities or perhaps even states in that way. I like that this place is an Istanbul, it's history still being written regardless of previous names, rather than having become a Babylon, once glorious but lost to the sands of time.
Eric Apricot (8 ♡):
Ah those names… I’m not sure what happened to most of those familiar names… EvanZ obviously is a guest of ours here every draft. Atma and I had season tickets with some others right up until the move to Chase.
IQ was a strange case because they compiled these impressive lists of links after every game, but once GSW actually won the title, they kind of freaked out and said they couldn’t handle it and disappeared. I’m pretty sure that was right in 2015 and before KD ruined the league
Dilly (13 ♡):
Thanks for making this more visible. I hope to have time to actually watch some of it now.
I was a GSOM lurker for several years and decloaked & became vocal during the stop at LGW, and, of course, being thoroughly addicted by then, I followed to DNHQ.
Goldarn Staid Worrier (12 ♡):
In short, yes.
I was a big fan of GSoM but rarely commented. I was worried during the transition, but wow the frequency and quality of content (an entire continent of same) has taken a big leap upward here. And it’s only here at the HQ do I feel like my own brand of 70% joke/random/mutterings and 30% analysis/commentary/study is tolerated. Thank you.
Asher B. (9 ♡):
Wow. All I can say is it sure looks like Being is suffering the same miserable offseason withdrawals that I am.
— Are YOU suffering Dubs Withdrawal? Symptoms of this highly debilitating and somewhat contagious disease include: 1. Nightly two a.m. rewatches of Klay’s 37 point game highlights 2. Deep dives into arcane analysis videos, and, most troubling, 3. Writing lengthy analyses of your own. WARNING Even or especially if your analyses are incredibly well thought out and ask amazing questions, you may be experiencing *severe* withdrawal symptoms. THE ONLY KNOWN CURE IS THE PRESEASON and the only known medical practitioner who can help you is Dr. J. , with more highlights ….
Everyone please send your best thoughts and wishes for Being’s speedy recovery… (PS I found this spot one year ago from Eric’s breakdowns on YT)

GlueAndBold (8 ♡):
Came over from GSOM, and couldn't be happier about it.
ForeverFoyled (7 ♡):
Yeah I came from lurking on GSOM starting in 2015 or 2016 to occasionally commenting. When the move to LGW happened, I tried to make the switch, but I think I was too used to the crappy old site and pretty pictures and seeing unread comments and I couldn't quite adjust so I mostly stayed at GSOM, but just used it less. But I noticed in the exodus as GSOM lost all you fine folks, the remaining commentors were too negative and know-better-y. I realized toward the end of this finals that reading it just made me feel agitated, and that's no good. So I gave it a try again here and I think the 70% randomness/silliness is definitely more to my liking. I mean we are mostly dopes (Apricot and some others excluded), it's better to just have a good time than act like you are vying for Myers/Kerr's jobs. I do appreciate E1P slowly making me less dopey, but at my core I am just a simple man more entertained by watching Wiggins sledgehammer Luka on repeat 20 times most days.
AttilaTheHun (7 ♡):
I was much the same, lurked for years at GSOM, just occasionally poking my head up for a comment. I had never spent much time on fan blogs before, so I was feeling my way. When I came over to LGW and then DNHQ I became more vocal. Now I feel at home here, among friends.
Goofus (6 ♡):
Didn’t see this shared: Warriors put together a reel of Steph’s no-look 3’s (although he does sneak a peek on a number of them). Wildly entertaining

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, why is the offseason so long!!?!
PS - jumped on the GSOM bandwagon in 2015, followed the talent to LGW and then over here. I never had the innate commenting talent or athleticism to be a star but I’m comfortable as a role commenter, chasing rings for the minimum.
Bat Buñuel (5 ♡):
I found you guys from when one of you was on the Light Years podcast.
g8tgod (4 ♡):
I've been following the Dubs and commenting in communities like this since usenet days. Yeah, it's like that. I was active on Warriors World, Golden State of Mind, LGW, Fast Break (more occasionally), and now here on DNHQ.
I have to add my voice to the chorus of those who are lauding and appreciating this blog and community. It's really outstanding. In addition to some fun and excellent content, the moderating of the comment section (and the goodwill of the vast majority of commenters) has made it a very enjoyable place to talk Warriors. Kudos to the writers, moderators, and all of you commenters. This is a blog and community commensurate with the entertainment value and excellence of the dynasty Warriors.
That said, I'm ready for this short off-season to end and for the games to begin. A new season is almost upon us!
ForeverFoyled (4 ♡):
In Warriors/NBA withdrawal I started watching US Open Sinner v Alcaraz match going on right now (I'm 4 hours committed now). I'd say I like tennis, but usually just try to watch a few sets of the finals. But I think I picked the right random match to watch -- this has been quite intense and entertaining. If anyone is still awake, check out the final set. Not sure why they schedule these things to potentially end at 3am local, but who am I to judge.
Aaannnd1 (4 ♡):
No, because it’s not all about the personality of the analyst.
Goofus (4 ♡):
The rest of us could.
AttilaTheHun (4 ♡):
But he's OUR Goofus, and we love him.
Arash (4 ♡):
It really is fascinating how much the Warriors defense is oriented around consistently contesting the shots of opposing offense rather than actively trying to disrupt them through physical play/deflections/steals/blocks.
Watching the Warriors defense, they are consistently hedging one pass away because they'd rather trust in their long wingspans/smart rotations and bet on the opposing team fumbling giving them time to recover rather than allowing a simple breakdown where the opposing player gets a uncontested shot after breaking past their defender off the dribble.
Goofus (4 ♡):
Great post again!
The biggest difference we have is that, rather than PBJ, I think Looney is the logical heir apparent to Draymond’s captain of the defense/facilitator of the offense role. He’s the most senior, most respected and has the most rings of all the young guys. He’s also the most well-versed in the Warriors systems and as a front line player with the plays in front of him, can call out screens and switches and provide the help that Green provides.
Wiseman taking over the center position at some point could derail that, but with Looney’s ability to cover perimeter players and Wiseman’s athleticism, I’m starting to think they’ll be a lot of times where the Warriors could play them together, especially against some of the really big front lines we’re going to see going forward (KAT/Rudy, Chet/Poku, Ayton/Saric, Mobley/Allen)
Goofus (4 ♡):
Regarding the last point, I didn’t find DNHQ; it found me and offered me big bucks to jump ship, making it the LIV Tour of Warriors blogs.
SD (3 ♡):
Sometime early in the 2014-2015 season, I googled something like “warriors pick and roll defense” and found Eric’s E1P on GSOM. From there I lurked on GSOM and then LGW, but have actually started commenting in the last couple of seasons after the transition to DNHQ.
Dilly (3 ♡):
And it's almost time for ice cream of kitten happiness & I still haven't had the time today to watch any of these videos - but I am caught up on comments now.

Oh and I and GSOM commenter WarriorsWarrior come from the ESPN comments boards before it got Spammed to hell then switched to Facebook then shut down entirely. Those were some glorious days a decade or so ago
Trogdor (3 ♡):
I was pretty active on GSOM, but didn't make the migration to LGW and fell off the Warriors posting bandwagon for a little while. Just made my way back via DNHQ at the beginning of this past season. Never should have left!
AttilaTheHun (3 ♡):
I grew up in Maryland (except for 2 years), and I started watching NBA games when the Chicago Zephyrs moved to Baltimore and became the Bullets in 1963. Before that there were no teams south of the Mason-Dixon Line (okay, the St Louis Hawks but that's technically west of the line). For a year or so before the Bullets we had nothing at all, but back around '61, I sometimes listened at night to AM radio broadcasts of a team in Philadelphia called the Warriors. They were pretty good, with guys like Wilt Chamberlain, Al Attles, Tom Meschery, Paul Arizin, and Guy Rodgers. But they were in the same division (there were only two) as the Celtics, so you know how that went. So I go back pretty far with the Warriors.
Being (3 ♡):
I'm in this line, as well. Was much more active on McC back then than GSOM, but would post rarely.
belilaugh (3 ♡):
Positioning is the most important aspect of defense in any sport imo, if you are in the right place then you don't require incredible recovery speed or jumping ability to get to the right place.
Being "on a string" around Draymond is crucial to the Warrior defensive system which is why someone like Kuminga didn't play as much as the fans wanted him to play.
Aaannnd1 (3 ♡):
Being and nothingness……tough
Abaddon (3 ♡):

Yah, the withdrawal is real, man. Luckily for me, ramp up is finally starting, podcasts are re-starting, and soon we'll get to pre-season and training camp speculation time. So instead of going to rehab, I'll just start mainlining live basketball again.
Captain Jack (3 ♡):
The Dub's defense has been pretty underrated during this run for the most part. Like a store that's closing up for the night, they make sure to lock everything up when it's that time.
crusty quips (3 ♡):
Thanks Being, A+ comment! Nice work collating all of those great breakdowns on why the Warriors defense was so fantastic last season.

If I may, this is the best full series Warrior defensive breakdown on the Finals I have seen.
vignette17 (2 ♡):
Assuming Apricot is the same Apricot from AN, I've been reading and interacting with you since....2004 or so. When they still had UIDs in our profiles on SBNation, I signed up as uid #21 on GSOM for the possible bragging rights way down the line. Little did I know that the best sports blog on the internet would eventually be dedicated to a different sport than my first love of baseball and to a team that had never really been good enough for me to divert my A's or 49ers attention.
crusty quips (2 ♡):
On the one hand this would be terrible but on the other, does it mean we would get the re-live winning the championship again?
g8tgod (2 ♡):
Championship blogs need commenters who understand their role and will embrace it. Keep doing the little things that contribute to winning!
jzalvarado (2 ♡):
Yeah IQ will forever remain one of life’s great mysteries up there with the true identity/ies of Satoshi Nakamoto
OskiDubs (2 ♡):
I was an 8-yo watching the Dubs win the title in '75, sticking each day's Sporting Green (it was really green!) into my desk. Did the same with the A's for prior to that.
My path here (as a 99.9% lurker) was finding GSOM somehow. My first GSOM Night happened to be Kerr's first season. Went to a few. Then the Great SBNation Fallout happened – my other site was California Golden Blogs, so it's now I'm at Write For California – which put me at LGW.
I knew that shi...stuff had gone down, but thru late in the almost-playoff season, I forgot that you'd all moved to DNHQ and still checked out LGW. couldn't figure out why it was all PMC articles and none of the good stuff. Then remembered/stumbled back to LGW...and life has been good!
I pimp it all I can. Usually starting with a link to EA's epic Bang Bang plus maybe a My Worst Take. And the other day, I added Alas Phood Fight's "Odd Man Out", just to show that the Warrior-ican Dream is alive and well. Yes, even you can become an above-the-fold writer here!
Open thread: GSW-MEM Games 5 and 6
Might want to fast forward through Game 5
Goofus (16 ♡):
This might be my favorite off-season highlight reel yet. Athletic Alchemy put together over 12 minutes of Kevon Looney being awesome in the 2022 playoffs. I’ve said before that Draymond is irreplaceable, but if you had to have someone take on his role, Looney would be the guy and now I believe it even more.
Watching this shows off his total grasp of the Warriors’ offense. Although the offense doesn’t typically run through him, he has an almost Jokic-like awareness of where all his teammates are at all times and makes countless great (and quick) decisions, especially when he catches the ball while cutting and immediately finds even better looks than calling his own number.
Enjoy!
Aaannnd1 (6 ♡):
What a great reel. I really enjoyed it. It shows so well Warriors team play.

Re Dillon Brooks: if we’re looking for something to fill the remaining couple weeks’ lull before training camp, “Honorary Warrior Villain for Life” could be a fun topic. There’s the accidental/reckless injurers like Brooks, Danny Green, Aron Baynes, Marcus Smart, and Donatas Motiejunas; plus Adam Silver and Kiki for the grand theft of the ‘16 title; plus players we just generally love to hate on like LeBron, Harden, CP3, and Blake Griffin; plus obnoxious owners like Ballmer and Cuban; plus mediots / Warrior haters like Skip Bayless, Nick Wright, Kendrick Perkins, and Barkley (who gets bonus points for destroying the promising ‘93 rookie Webber team); plus ultra-irritating members of our own Dub Nation family, like cranky Rick Barry and Bob “Used Car Salesman” Fitzgerald; plus maybe a category of his own for Instaboner…?

IMO if Andre Iguodala retires, regardless of who the Warriors invite to training camp in his place, the 14th roster spot is Quinndary Weatherspoon’s to lose.
He’s earned being the first look for it and would expect him to ball out in camp to lock up that conversion.

And on the other hand, seems like teams have been finding replacements for the absentee Kyrie for the last three seasons:
20 games played (Season 19-20)
54 games played (Season 20-21)
29 games played (Season 21-22)
Sleepy Freud (6 ♡):
Haha. I’m not even sure what Ms. O’Meara-Morales’ point is. Yes, the Porter and Bjelica minutes from last season will be covered this season by some combo of JaMychal Green, Wiseman. Kuminga, Moody, Dray, Klay, and PBJ — three of whom did not play a minute for the Warriors last season, and the other four of whom will likely see substantial total minute increases from what they saw last season.
We’ve known this for a while. Is dividing up the 2600 Porter + Bjelica minutes among seven players really that hard? If there’s anything hard about it, I’d say it’s more the issue of “so many mouths to feed” than of “not enough players to fill the minutes,” as Morales is implying. If Loon has to miss 10 games … they’ll live.
The “d’omg, not enough centers!!!” refrain is a hearty perennial in Dubland. I’ll ‘fess up to occasionally even singing along with it. And yet … somehow, it rarely ends up being as much of an issue as anyone thinks.
Heck, even in a worst case scenario where Loon gets hurt and/or Wiseman and Kuminga fail to blossom, you’re still allowed to make roster moves during the season, last I checked; and serviceable centers are the easiest commodity to find kicking around the waiver wire. Guys like Howard, Whiteside, Aldridge, Cousins, Chriss, and Harrell are currently unsigned.
Goofus (5 ♡):
I agree with David Aldridge…about the sounding crazy part.
Klaymatic37 (5 ♡):
I think of softened on my stance for JK. Someone mentioned that on his interviews he just gives standard answers, so I no longer read into what he says at all publicly.
Also, he's 19 and just won the chip and we haven't heard about him doing anything dumb yet.
Lastly, he seems to get along with the team. Our vets should be a really good influence on him as matures.
Did anyone mention that the Lakers have signed Dennis Schoeder? Seems like a really good pickup for them. Can only hope the chemistry blows them up.
When’s Andre’s decision??????
