Is Moses Moody an NBA caliber player? HE PULLED A MAGIC TRICK, HES NOT AN NBA PLAYER!!! HES A CHINA LEVEL PLAYER!!!

[Onus]

I'm scared that JK coming back will eat into his minutes again, but the Moody we all saw is starting to really emerge

Moody will probably continue to start but jk has always been prioritized over moody and since they kind of play the same position and the same as Wiggins/butler there’s just not a lot of time for both of them especially when we were also playing dray at the 4. If we continue to play dray at the 5 then that opens up more time for both them. 96 min between butler/moody/jk that’s 32 min each maybe some minutes for gp2 to drop all 3 below 30 mpg.

96 min between curry/podz/buddy and some minutes for gp2.

48 min between dray/looney/post.

That’s a 10 man rotation with gp2 getting some specialist minutes hopefully.

[EvanZ]

They nominally play the same "position" but they certainly don't have the same role. Roles are more important than positions imo.

JK should eat all of Gui Santos' minutes and a lot of GPII's. And allow Butler and Draymond some more rest. But Moody and Podz need all the minutes we can give them if we're going to be competitive. What we need to do is reduce the end of the benchers like Gui and Spencer as much as possible. Post too ideally.

[EvanZ]

Oh and Moody can eat even more of Hield's minutes if it were up to me. So can Podz.

Moody's contract is going to look like one of the best bargains in the league. Average $12.5M per for the upcoming 3 years.

[Dubs 707]

Jk the one holding moody back?

No, that would be Nick Kerrs fathers fault

Buddy actually played well last night.

What about Loons minutes? He looked bad last night.

I think TJD will eventually take his minutes back from Loon. They’ll battle for the more traditional C minutes, Post will eat the spacing minutes and Dray when we go small

[EvanZ]

If this team is going to win they have to shorten the rotation and play only winning players. Post is not an above average NBA player. I don’t care if he hits some shots. He gives it up at the other end and it’s just not going to help win real games. Kerr has to play his 9-10 best players and figure out the rotations that make that happen.

Post is killing it in the podz buddy Jimmy dray post lineup

[wco81]

Question is can Post improve. Not just the rest of this season but in the offseason, to get stronger and learn more of the defensive rotations, maybe develop some shots in the paint to take advantage of switches to guards or wings?

He's almost the opposite of looney, who gives you almost nothing on offense. Now if we could just combine the two somehow....

He's a rookie so I'm very confident he can improve. Already shows a lot of skill and confidence. If he can potentially give you a lot of what Markkanen does, at a fraction of the cost, that's a huge win.

[wco81]

I'm talking adding noticeable amount of muscle, so at least he can fight for rebounds, hold up against some strong centers and then when he's switched to smaller guys, bully ball them.

Because he doesn't seem to have the ability to attack closeouts and go at the rim, like some stretch 4s and 5s.

We can't expect too much from a lower 2nd round pick.

But he's a rookie so there has to be some room for improvement even if the ceiling isn't that high?

Offensive rebounds and put backs don't exist anymore?

He’s a 24 (25?) year old rookie.

He needs to do 2 things, put up shots every possible second he’s on the court and work on getting his body stronger and leaner. I’ not worried about him working on improving weaknesses, I want him working on strengthening what got him on the court, shooting and size. Cement those tools first. Then work on eve try thing else.

[watch1958]

I hope folks don’t mind if I post about Moses in this thread.

Consistent use is a good thing. Moses has played 46 minutes with this starting lineup.

That’s more than any other five man unit he has played with this season.

In another two or three games, it will be more than any five man unit in his entire career.

Post can def help, just with his size and shot, but the right lineup is more important for him than anyone else on the roster. He's come a long way since October and I hope he keeps improving. He had a not terrible night on defense yesterday but it was one of the smallest teams in the league.
