Podz is a hustle guy. Coaches love hustle guys. Moody may be a better scorer, slightly, but everywhere else he’s way behind Podz.
sneakyrumble
With CP3 injury, you need a ball handler for the second unit. Moody isnât competing for those minutes, GP2 takes his, basically because heâs a better defender.
Unfortunately Moody doesnât excel on anything, yeah he hustles a lot and we all appreciate that, thatâs why fans like him. Heâs not a great shooter, not a great POA defender, so heâs trapped in the rotation backlog.

If Moody could play-make or rebound or even just draw chargers like Podz, heâd be playing.

Podz is a better shooter, rebounder, ball handler and passer than Moody. That’s really all it is. They both have similar weaknesses on man and team defense so that’s a wash.

Guys with a more dynamic, versatile skillset are given more leash, shocker

Consistent rebound numbers get minutes. All coaches find minutes for good rebounders.
heliocentrist510
This sub talks about Moody like we’ve got the next Kawhi chained to the bench. A little perspective, people.
cosmicvitae
You would think Moody is a potential all star from how some parts of the fanbase talk about him
AMS_GoGo
I think that Podz earned his minutes and this a stupid comparison
gethereddout
Proves that Kerr isnât against playing young guys- he just values IQ over ability. Unfortunate for JK the most, because we really needed him logging heavy minutes last season.
STA_Alexfree
Podz came in on day 1 basically ready to play-make and get consistent mins at an NBA level
FullAutoLuxPosadism
Again not a warriors fan. Podziemski gets minutes because he is good at just about everything and willing to do just about everything. Moody does not do that.
wafair
One thing to keep in mind, even if Podz isnât a lockdown defender, he leads the league in taking charges. Every one of those is an extra possession.
Mygaffer
Stupid nonsense by someone not qualified to speak on the subject.

Podz, TJD > Moody, Kuminga
as far as rookie season goes
LawfulAssole
These arenât the same player and the comparison is lazy.
torturetrilogy
Whats his point?
Nalicar52
They play different positions and we are weaker at PG. thatâs really all there is to it.
nba2k11er
I think theyâre just trying out Quiñones for a bit just to see what he can do.
GPII is better at basketball than Moody.
Podz is mainly getting this many minutes because CP3 is hurt.
beezybreezy
Podz is way better than Moody even with his rookie mistakes.
AndOnTheDrums
They dont play the same position or style.
burnersburna
The thing is Podz doesnât really make mistakes⊠thatâs why Steve keeps playing him
jakklog
i really donât get all the m00dy obsession here
Bruh___789
Chris Paul and GPII both missed extended time which helped clear out a spot for Podz to play
If Wiggins and JK both missed time then Moody would have gotten enough run to make a solid case for himself
Positional depth matters and Moody didnât benefit as much from injuries

You guys arenât listening to Kerr lol. He spells it out when reporters ask about Podz
Look at his DRIVES – he is putting the ball on the floor off closeouts and getting paint touches consistently, possession after possession, without turning it over, for a team where most players love to just chuck it around the perimeter or make poor decisions and take it into traffic. He gets the ball moving side to side on the court, and these are things nobody but Steph does. He is a high level game processor and makes very quick decisions. A .5 basketball player.
Moody, I love, but he is not good at any of those things. Heâs better at other stuff, especially defensively, but Kerr is looking for specific qualities both when Steph is off the floor and to amplify the Steph minutes
Moody should still play imo for his size, team defense, and hustle, but itâs harder to put him in lineup combos when our offense is so 1 dimensional and needs some dynamic guard play
stanko89
Can we just stop with this moody agenda? Podziemski has stolen 1st squad from Klay who still can have 25pts on 60% night. Moody is your typical 9th man but warriors have too much guards anyway so he didn’t play because he’s the weakest. That’s really it. He would play minutes at Lakers just as TJD wouldn’t play there
FungChoyChicken
There was a podcast from The Athletic’s beat writers, that write for Nuggs and Dubs, and they talked for a little bit about why he isn’t even looked at. Worth listening to, but it seems Lester has taken his spot.
docshay
Moody doesnât add things over Klay, Wiggins, or JK to take their minutes. Those guys also need minutes to get their games going.
Podz and Quinones add skills that GP2 and CP3 donât do.
Thisteamisajoke
Moody is a worse shooter than Klay, a worse ball handler than Podz, a worse defender than GP2, a worse everything than CP3. He’s perpetually the 2nd best option. So when Kerr needs something, there is always a better option than Moody. He needs to get really good at 1 thing to get a clear role carved out for himself.
paranoidmoonduck
People losing their minds for 3 seasons, saying Kerr doesn’t play rookies enough, then he plays a rookie, the team consistently wins the minutes he plays by a huge margin, and people are still unhappy.
Moody is *fine*. He’s not a good enough ball-handler to be part of the core guard rotation and he’s not big enough to get a lot of minutes in the wing rotation. He’ll get a good shot next year and might turn into something real. He’s still young.
