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

[watch1958]

Moody is the 12th man. It’s disgusting. I’m probably done with this team.

This is my favorite time of day. Getting home. Listening to Kerr’s postgame interview. Tasting vomit in the back of my throat.

I’m probably done with this team.

Promise?

I promise I’m probably done. Probably doesn’t mean 100%.

So, probably not then. Just more of the same complaining ahead.

Happy for Moody for the contract.

But the Pelicans just gave Trey Murphy, who was drafted several spots after Moody, 4 years $112 million.

With one shorter year, Moody gets to improve his numbers and be up for a bigger contract sooner.

Found the stats. Moody is 14-15 from the line. Thesis confirmed lol. Unfortunately I also found JK is 9-18. Not a great sign for the legitimacy of his shooting leap.

Moody was always a better shooter than JK. Moody needs to be lights out as that’s what he brings offensively. JK needs to be passable because what he brings is geared toward attacking the basket.

Except Moody is now attacking the basket and hitting middie pull-ups. Basically JK has nothing on Moody this point. Warriors fans need to get over JK.

They’re very different players. There’s no need to compare them against each other when in reality their skillsets fit nicely together. I’d honestly start them at 2&3 and have Wiggins bring the scoring punch from the 2nd unit with Buddy. How we close is up to situation.

We cannot continue to start 3 non-shooters. JK is the one that should come off the bench. He has not proved yet to be more useful in any lineup than Moody imo.

Steph/Melton/Wiggins/Dray/TJD should probably be the starting lineup

Podz/Buddy/Moody/JK/KA or Looney off the bench

These are optimal lineups. I have spoken.

JK is one of the few that attacks the hoop and his upside is still too much to pass up. He will continue to start. Whether you like it or not. Name of the game is defense with this lineup.

[clyde21]

that extension we gave him might end up being one of the better contracts in the league next year. that's good news for us if we decide to keep him or trade him.

The conversation about JK reminds me of Monta Ellis

Eh maybe to an extent but Monta was always problematic because he was a combo guard that needed a very specific side kick both defensively and offensively. Basically needed a Baron Davis type to work. JKs shooting isn’t amazing but he could fit on a lot of teams at SF without issue. Our issue none of our big men can shoot. Dray has some stretches of decent shooting but is far from a shooter. TJD and Loon are non shooters.

[CDM_Stats]

Wow that is not what happened with Monta. Much like Monta, the problem is JK, not the people around him. JK at SF is going to be bad because he's not good on the perimeter on either side of the court. At least if he starts shooting well he could be a 3 level scorer and the defense could be forgiveable. But he'll make any team he plays on worse if he's playing SF.. its a bad idea any way its presented

Baron wasnt a complement to Monta, Baron guarded the PGs. The difference between Monta's lone good season and the rest of his career was that he was lower on the totem pole, and was promoted above his station. With guys who took the ball out of his hands more, there were less stupid mistakes and more selectiveness. Monta was never going to be a legit star, but he thought he was, and back then these were the exact excuses to make it not his fault.. so yeah its a lot like Monta

You perfectly described kuminga. Instead of being a combo guard, he's a tweener (essentially the same thing). He also needs very specific sidekicks: a stretch 5 or 4 who will cover rebounding, defending, abd shooting. He also needs a sg who can cover shooting, defending, abd ball handling.

I'm not sure there are any teams willing to start a non shooting, non defending, and non ball handling SF except the dubs.

[KevinMcreynolds]

I think JK is closer to being a sparkplug of the bench like Barbosa then a starting player and difference maker. I wonder if we could get something like Zach Collins and a 1st for him. I have no clue what his market value is though.

[GQ Hot Dog]

I promise I’m probably done. Probably doesn’t mean 100%.

So, probably not then. Just more of the same complaining ahead.

Probably

Thank you to both of you. This exchange made me day.

[vvoland]

The better question might be, is Lindy Waters III the player we all think Moses Moody will become?

But how do you reaaally feel about JK?

it's really weird to me how people view JK on this board. He's far form a perfect player but to describe him in the way you did above is certifiably insane.

Man that’s a hot take. He’s far from perfect buts also no near what you’re describing.
