Steve Cole: Moody s role is somewhat similar to Wiggins role when he was at the Warriors

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr recently gave an interview to reporters, in which he also talked about the team's wing star Moses Moody.

Cole said: After the deal came to Jimmy Butler, Moody was able to find a role that was comfortable for himself and for us. He got the starter, he was able to have some ball rights, and his current role is a bit similar to the previous role Andrew Wiggins played on the team. I think the deal really cleared all the obstacles for Moses and Brandin Podziemski to get more playing time, which is also very helpful for their growth. As coaching staff, we have to figure out how to prepare Moses better and play a more important role in the game. Like the Houston Rockets did, they put Alperen Sengun on the field and then used his strengths to change everything on the field, and they helped him expand the game so he could get into the game better and exert more influence in the game.

In the NBA regular season this season, Moody played a total of 74 games in 82 games, averaging 22.3 minutes per game, averaging 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 43.3%, three-point shooting percentage 37.4%, and free throw shooting percentage 79.7%. During the playoffs, Moody played 11 games in 12 games, averaging 16.5 minutes per game, averaging 6.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.3 blocks, 0.3 turnovers and 1.2 fouls, shooting percentage of 33.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 31%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.3%.

Moody's performance in the regular season was actually good, especially after entering the starting lineup, he gradually found his position in the team. He can play some role in both offense and defense. His importance to the team on the court is getting higher and higher. He is also gradually proving that he has the ability to grow into a top 3D type wing player in the league. As a result, in the playoffs, Moody's performance was simply shocking. His offensive efficiency plummeted. His touch outside the three-point line was a mess, and his performance on the defensive end was not satisfactory. In the second round of the series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he had a hard time even entering the rotation lineup in the last few games. Of course, Moody is not a player without ability, but judging from the current situation, the Warriors have not fully realized their potential and value.
