I'm a big fan of Moody, but I think you are right. Last year in the playoffs, they had the core 4, with Poole, GP2, Looney & Porter splitting most of the other important minutes. They did use Moody successfully in a certain role in the Dallas series.

This year, they lost a big from the playoff rotation (Porter), and replaced him with a guard (DDV), pushing Moody farther down the ladder.

In that context, I think Kerr would feel fine using Moody if forced to it by multiple injuries. But it would likely only be in a "no other choice" situation.

Thing that Warriors fan are going to have difficulty with is that Trey Murphy was available when the team picked Moody.

Murphy is starting for the Pels, averaging 30 m8nutes, 40% from 3. Now maybe he wouldn’t be starting if Zion hasn’t been out so much.

And Maybe Murphy is even a worse defender than Moody.

Likely Murphy wouldn’t be getting anywhere near 30 minutes if the Warriors had drafted him in 2022 but he’s a great shooter.

We will see if PBJ gets more consistent minutes next season and his shooting can be sustained as well as being good enough in other areas to stay on both ends of the court.

LMAO at Warriors fans caring about Trey Murphy when they don't care that we passed on LaMelo to take Wiseman and Franz to take Kuminga.

Franz just continually haunts me.

Murphy is just a dead eye shooter. Such a shame that Moody's shot hasn't improved

Oh you didn't tweet that?

Yeah get back to me when Lamelo makes the playoffs. Franz might soon.

Lamelo is going to need Charlotte to win the lottery. Even then they may need some free agent signings

So if GS drafted LaMelo he never makes the playoffs?

[wco81]

Why the **** would GSW draft Melo?

He was going to get all the touches from Curry and Klay?

Sure he could have been drafted by the Bucks or Celtics and sat on their benches.

Such nonsense from a draft "expert."

You really have no clue do you? They drafted Jordan Poole and James Wiseman, both high usage offensive players. LaMelo could easily replace Poole and run the second unit. It's amazing people like you make excuses for passing on him. Warriors fans...sigh

[EvanZ]

Remember when everyone said Lavar Ball was a huge problem? Literally haven't heard a peep from the man in years. Ja's dad is a bigger problem.

[Swift21]

Lamelo wasn't going to be content coming off the bench. Should have traded the pick.

[wco81]

There must be some tweet touting Melo at the time from Evan.

He gonna clutch to that forever.

He got Lonzo embezzled by someone he hired. That's reason enough to shut up.

LaMelo would not be happy coming off the bench. Do you really think he would jive with a strict dude like Kerr? How would he react with some time in the G-league? He certainly won't take it easily unlike Poole and Wiseman. It's amazing people like you don't look at the whole picture. "Draft experts"...sigh

What's his Twitter? I could use some comedy lol

Of course there was. He was clearly the best prospect and long term still is. Not sure why you keep talking about Twitter though. I left the platform in October.

You seem oddly obsessed on it.

You seem to not remember recent history. Let me bring you up to speed. You see Klay Thompson missed two seasons due to injury. They literally drafted Wiseman on the day Klay tore his ACL. James Wiseman, a rookie, and maybe one of the dumbest players of all time, started 27 games that season for Kerr and Kelly Oubre maybe the second dumbest player of all time started 50. So yeah…I think LaMelo could have easily won a starting spot that season. Lol it’s not really even a question.

Wiseman fit a need in terms of position, but his style as a player did not. If Wiseman was that great player on defense it would've been a really nice addition, but his focus was on offense and it was a disaster for us.

People throw out some names but I only ever saw that they were deciding between LaMelo and James. Which makes sense since those guys rounded out an NBA consensus top 3. The franchise made a huge mistake underestimating the talent level of the Australian league that LaMelo was in (happened again with Giddey) and overestimating the importance of a draft prospects experience against competition which is how we got Wiseman. We took the one on one workout guy in Wiseman instead of seeing that LaMelo was making great reads against pro players.

Under the circumstance we take LaMelo he would have got a lot of run in the Klay injury year, as well as the Klay recovery year. On offense I saw the potential of his floor vision of hitting the Splash Brothers for passes. Unlike Poole who is a bit tunnel vision, LaMelo is a pass first guy and his size would've allowed him to guard forwards unlike Poole. LaMelo takes flack but I think he's talented, just a little loose like Poole in his decision making.

But the biggest thing is we didn't acquire LaMelos talent. He could've played Pooles role and allowed us to flip Poole for another position or vice versa. LaMelos potential fit is debatable but his value on the open market to get a better asset than we got in Wiseman is not.

Haliburton is really the big whiff, he's the guy that would've been amazing to have.

[NeoWarriors]

Oh yes, let's relitigate the Wiseman draft in the Moses Moody thread. Gawd knows we haven't discussed that enough in its own thread.
