Just how identical of a cycle it’s become would be comical if it weren’t so inexplicable and maddening. He’s gotta be the first player in NBA history viewed as a trustworthy and capable player in the playoffs or during a must win stretch leading up to the playoffs only. 😭

Probably an unpopular opinion but I hope he gets traded this summer. He can thrive on a different team. This coaching staff doesn’t understand how to use him.
I was watching nba tv and they were talking about him. Showed him when he was younger giving a speech
Everything they said was positive!!!
I love having players like that on our team. Wish coach felt the same.
moody’s career splits
**playing 30+ minutes (9 games)** – 17.5 pts 4.0 reb 1.4 ast on 47/47/90 splits in 33 minutes
**playing 20-29 minutes (33 games)** – 11.3 pts 4.1 reb 1.1 ast on 51/40/76 splits in 24 minutes
**playing 20 or less minutes (131 games)** – 3.9 pts 1.5 reb 0.5 ast on 43/30/72 splits in 10 minutes
shocking that getting consistent and a lot of playing time as a young player you put up relatively good offensive production and in the case of moody when playing starting or even regular bench minute caliber minutes he’s scoring a a very good efficient rate too
and when moody is benched for long stretches and receives inconsistent or very little to no playing time he struggles probably because either he’s not in a rhythm or he’s pressing too hard because he wants to play well in his limited time on the court
crazy when we’ve heard a couple of times this season when kerr says moody has earned regular minutes and he needs to find minutes for him in the playing rotation yet that “promise” isn’t fulfilled in particular if moody has a few games where he struggles and then his playing time goes to practically nothing or at best he only plays in garbage time minutes
i mean if you look at kuminga’s stats in regards to his minutes played in his NBA career it’s the same story
**playing 30+ minutes (32 games)** – 19.8 pts 5.4 reb 2.5 ast on 55/42/73 splits in 33 minutes
**playing 20-29 minutes (91 games)** – 14.9 pts 4.7 reb 2.2 ast on 56/37/72 splits in 25 minutes
**playing less than 20 minutes (83 games)** – 5.4 pts 2.3 reb 0.7 ast on 42/33/64 splits in 12 minutes
feel bad for the moody and although he didn’t go as far as what kuminga did following his benching after that nuggets game in january where he didn’t play the last 1.5 quarters as the warriors were blowing a huge lead
kuminga went to the media the next day to basically criticize kerr with kuminga saying he didn’t think he’d live up to his potential with his coaching essentially
i gotta think moody also has felt that same frustration and do wonder how moody would be performing with another team who gave him 30 minutes a game
i don’t think moody has star potential like with kuminga but i think he’d be a solid 7th or 8th man on many team’s playing rotation averaging at least 15-20 minutes per game
