Moses is Special!
I’m in a Moses type of mood!
Super happy for Moses, nothing like seeing guys figure out ways they can make an impact. Everyone wants to be a star, but finding ways to get on the floor and stay on the floor always impresses more.
I keep forgetting he’s only 21.
Moses deserves all the accolades but Moody outleaping Wiseman was probably not a cathartic moment for me as a Warriors fan as Hollinger stated. I feel bad for Wiseman being buried in the Pistons bench and not being offered a rookie extension by the Pistons like Moody and Kuminga. James has all the height and skills but just doesn’t have the basketball instincts to make an impact on the court.
I hate Hollinger so much I have an Athletic sub but purposely skipped over this article – figured he’d pick a bunch of no-name Grizzlies. Good to see Moody on here, I guess. Still tho fuck Hollinger
Pretty cool stat that Hollinger pointed out.
Moody is one of 3 players with 10+ steals in 144 minutes played or less:

I almost felt bad for James Wiseman after that Pistons game but then I remembered he’ll have ~$48m in career earnings after just his rookie contract is done and I didn’t feel so bad anymore.
I’ve been a Moody truther since day 1. Kuminga gets all the hype because he’s more explosive and athletic, and he definitely has a really high ceiling. But since the start, you could tell Moody had a mind for the game, and solid fundamentals. I love that we have both these guys. Moody’s been a bit streaky with his 3 shot, but when he’s on he’s ON. I hope he continues to get more minutes.
