The jk draft is littered with impact players. We had two swings and missed on both. Jk is not good. He’s probably slightly above avg as a driver an elite finisher and then below avg at every other aspect of basketball. Moody is jag which is fine but Murphy is without a doubt better. We drafted rotation players while there were impact players on the board. That draft was hands down a horrible draft that we absolutely wiffed on. We’ve gotten nothing from that draft when we should’ve gotten at least 1 impact player.
Odd thing is, Moody and Murphy have played almost the same number of postseason minutes. Their totals are almost identical in nearly every single category.
Except shooting & scoring. Per 36, Moses has been a much better shooter & scorer in the playoffs. Weird.
For the record, I love Trey. Moses & Trey were the two I wanted from that draft.
i think Moses can be a player but it won't happen until Klay is off the team.
Moody’s problem is Moody not Kerr and Klay. Podz got minutes. Kerr would play Moody if there was a reason to play Moody.
There were ways to not play Klay that did not require playing Moody.
Moody is a player but 8th or 9th man. 8th men are not nothing.
Moody has to outplay Payton and Podz before we should blame the Kerr Klay relationship. Podz got big minutes. If Moody could handle the ball like Podz maybe he could have had Podz minutes.
If Klay drops dead that does not guarantee Moody 20 minutes per game. Moody is not a Payton level defensive pest,not a Podz Level ball handler and not a Klay level volume chucker who is good at offense when he is hot. Even when Moody is hot I don’t think you can ask Moody to be a Klay level scoring threat volume shooter.
Moody was supposed to be a defender and he is a decent defender but he is not such a good defender that he can get big minutes based on his defense.
I like the Podz, Payton,Quinones, Moody depth but I want a starter who can defend better than any of them and score better than any of them. If Klay goes I want us to acquire a starter level off guard but that means even less minutes for Moody.
When Curry was not hot we needed something from Klay that Moody could not give us and that Klay could only give us in half of his games. Kuminga helped but Kuminga does not space the floor. Dray passing plus Curry, Klay, Kuminga and Wiggins is only a good offense when they all are playing better than their average games.
Moody should probably be part of our trade for a starter level off guard. I think Payton is past has begun his decline from age. Moody, Payton, Chris Paul and 3 1st round picks and cash for DeJounte Murray, a 7 foot big strong 3rd string center and a ultra fast 8 minute per game dribble stopper defensive pest back up point guard who sucks on offense.
