Admittedly weird and super hoop nerdy for this to be a play that stuck out to me so much let alone a favorite of a game with plenty of great moments lol but this kind of transition from on ball to off ball defensive awareness and engagement is the kind of stuff beautiful team defense is made of and that’s exactly what this possession was. Love to see it 🥹

Draymond told him where to go
dont see what you’re seeing.
Dray told him where to go. then went to the player that Wiggs already had covered forcing Wiggs to cover what Moses was supposed to cover
I heard him yelling during the broadcast. We need players like that.
Why he gets less minutes than Podz is beyond me
Moody didn’t do anything special here
Draymond took the matchup and told him to switch, Moody turns his head and sees Wiggins and GP2 and the two Miami players and hedges on covering the guy cutting
If GP2 didn’t slide down and cover that gap, that could have been a disaster and wide open 3
Solid team defense, Draymond being Draymond and while Moody didn’t do anything wrong, he didn’t do anything costly but I watch this and am more impressed by Wiggins and GP2 than Moody here
You always put your hands up in passing lanes lol. That’s like basic youth basketball
Cool OP, I for one appreciate your attention to detail here. Big play or not, Draymond directed or not, Moody is a quick study. I hope the best for that kid, regardless if he stays or doesn’t stay with the Dubs next year.
Unfortunately I think he got benched because of that time he didn’t pass the ball to Klay who was open, similar thing happened on Sunday. I wish he could play through those mistakes. I think it’s hard for him to see the floor properly because he’s been in and out of the rotation all year.
Moody over Podz!!! I know he can’t play make but he is better defensively and shooting wise.
This was more about Dray’s ability to help and recover and wiggins ability to read and recover. And then both guys shutting off iso attacks. Moody did what he should do. I think watching klay and jk off ball so much , we forget what a proper rotation looks like.
Damn, all this talk and no one is pointing out that Dray is literally pulling Moody’s jersey the direction he wants him to go? We know Dray, and he talks. There’s NO way he doesn’t tell him to go take the dunkers spot after pulling Moody’s jersey like that. You can hear Draymond shouting at someone as he’s walking across the paint.
