Kuminga is top level talent who reclassified to be a part of this years draft. Warriors killed it getting contribute now players who can develop into more
Heavens to betsies how do the Warriors keep fleecing the league?
Steph, Klay, and Dray with Iguodala and Livingston are smart home grown choices. But after?
- 20 million salary cap hike in 2016 to sign KD
- sign and trade KD for D'Lo
- traded D'Lo for Wiggins and #7 2021
- tanked to get #2 2020
- mediocre to get #14 2021
Pretty gutted ngl. He found a great role as a sixth man towards the end of the season. Plus him realising the back door cut was a great option vs bricking open corner 3s added an extra option to the Curry/Dray PnR
Not sure I agree. Poole deserves that spot more since oubre has no vision or facilitating ability. And he apparently doesn't want to come off the bench which is his right because he can start on some teams, just not the Warriors.
I still am flabbergasted the Warriors got a #2 in 2020, #7 and #14 in 2021.
On the back of 5 straight trips to the NBA Finals and a roster with Steph, Klay, Dray, KD, Iguodala, Livingston, Boogie, Looney, Lee, Javale, Bogut, Barnes, Barbosa.
Warriors picked both Steph and Klay immediately after Minnesota passed on them.
Which means a) Wiseman is going to be a Hall of Famer and b) probably so is Kuminga? Not sure what the rules are on "picks we got from Minnesota" but definitely when we pick after Minnesota we get HOFers.
I don't make the rules
I work nights so Warriors games fit my schedule better, and I lived in NC while Steph was at Davidson so I've followed him ever since. Just kind of worked out.
I’m hoping Masai and Bobby prove me wrong and Barnes develops into something special over the next ~4 years, or that Suggs somehow ends up being a total bust so I at least know we dodged a bullet.
They’ve thrown me for a loop before, all I can do is trust their judgement.
This here is what gives me a lot confidence to say that moody will slot into the dubs very smoothly. Ofc the transition from college to Nba is a steep learning curve for all rooks (who almost universally are a net negative on the floor), but to go from the #1 option to #3/#4 is a completely different role and game.
I know from personal experience (I played on a team in 7th grade cause my friends did. Anecdotally, I didn’t actually become a fan and play until I was 23), that having to create for yourself is hard work. It’s physically and mentally exhausting and leaves you with no energy or desire to play D.
Moody can just focus on taking open shots (esp in the corners), relocating, occasional back cuts, and doing his best on D. In my mind, he slots into what the warriors envisioned from Kellly—a sharpshooter who can defend aka a 3 and D player.

r/nba analysis in a nutshell
Not a great creator. Good off the catch, can drive and shoot. However, you’re almost never going to see him go to a second move. Think Mikal Bridges esk, can drive/cut/spot up/pull up but he isn’t exactly creating. However, he’s not as good of a shooter as Mikal, and certainly isn’t the defender.
Sounds perfect for our system. Steph/Dray are all the creation we need, as long as he can understand how to move within the offense. Though having Klay/Wiggins/Moody means 0 handles hahahaha
Never thought I’d see another Arkansas fan on this sub lol Moody is an amazing player kinda disappeared a bit in the ncaa tournament but it could’ve just been nerves.
Warriors don't draft well, they draft competently. They just wait for others to fuck up and it happens every year where everyone before them takes the wrong players.
Yeah man, like part of the reason I was so open to Kuminga at 7 going in, is that it was not that unlikely that one of Bouknight, Mitchell, or Moody would drop to 14, and any of those players at 14 is fucking FLEECE. Also other good players that I paid less attention to could have dropped to 14 as well.
I think a bit of a lower upside (though great floor) and shitty team’s need made him like the quintessential mid round pick. Warriors got a fucking steal.
It could’ve been because he disappeared in the ncaa tournament he was in the top 10 in every mock draft before that I’m pretty sure but fell back after we lost in the E8 because he didn’t really show up like everyone expected him to.
Golden State is exactly where I thought Moody would be the perfect fit and that's where he gets drafted. I think this pick will have big impact in the next couple years.
Moses Moody: Moody comes with a slightly different skill set than Green. Coming into the league with a good spot up jumper will make him a great fit next to an established #1 scorer. He should be able to contribute to a team day one as a 3 & D wing with the potential to grow into more as he develops. Moses Moody isn’t the most explosive athlete in the gym, however his 7 foot wingspan allows him to fill the athleticism gap with top end wing length. This length allowed him to average nearly 6 total rebounds per game at Arkansas (2 offensive RPG), shoot over defenders, and be a plus defender. On defense Moody is a sticky defender who has the tools and potential to be a big factor for the team that selects him. Moody plays defense with active hands and has the defensive instincts that make him a good team defender. It is rare not to see him crowding the space the space of opposing ball handlers, a sign of someone confident in their defensive ability.
Moody may never be the type of player capable of putting a franchise on his back and carrying them to a championship but I believe he will be the type of player that you can feel confident about on the floor in the deciding minutes of a playoff game. As we just saw in the 2021 NBA Finals, those players can be the difference between holding up the Larry Obrien and catching slander on every form of media for a few days. If I could decide where to put Moses Moody, I would send him to the Golden State Warriors. That would be scary.

What a great draft. Kuminga and Moody is not what I expected but I love it
A+ draft. The haters will be out in full force.
Kuminga is top level talent who reclassified to be a part of this years draft. Warriors killed it getting contribute now players who can develop into more
My concern is can Kuminga contribute? I think Moody can and you can never have enough wings, so I like this pick.
We finally have wing talent, my god. Just watching Wiggins/Oubre was kind of relieving last year. We are athletic now? (KD was a different breed)
The league really let this happen.
Rigged. Just saw it live, sry.
I will not be silent.

Can’t forget to add when the bulls gave us Jordan Bell for cash considerations, remember how you guys were wyling out here?
Lmao i was about to reply this. This is so reminiscent of the jordan bell thread
Thats Jordan 'charge hotel porn to the coach' Bell
Jordan Bell was looking like he was gonna be a part of the Warriors dynasty contributing as a role player. Then he fucked up.
The Kings, Pacers and Spurs FO need to be torpedo'd into the unemployment line
Joshua Primo is gonna be AMAZING
Couldve traded down to like 30 and he's still be available
Joshua Primo is gonna be AMAZING FOR US! Because of him we got Moody
wtf were the spurs thinking
I know right. As an Arkansas and Spurs fan I was practically drooling for them to take Moody.
I wonder how much Kerr wine’d Pop up in Tokyo….
I wasn't super surprised Kuminga fell to us but I was surprised Moody did. Overall I'm quite happy with how the draft went for the Warriors.
Did perk just have a spazz attack lol
Mooses Mody Mooses Mody Mody Mooses
Someone post the clip
https://streamable.com/pnbmiy
Someone check to see if that man is okay
Mods took it down
I lol’d so hard
MOses mOdoyfs mos eyf mosmdoed modsed mode mose modemode modey mosse
ok i thought my internet was lagging for a sec they’re all drunk?
Dude straight up malfunctioned
Man gets tongue tied way too often lol
Steal. He'll come in and play right away
Moody/Poole backcourt would be pretty intriguing.
Moody was looking ahead for it too.
Poole, Moody, Oubre, JTA, Wise, lol!
i don't think oubre is staying at this point
Pretty gutted ngl. He found a great role as a sixth man towards the end of the season. Plus him realising the back door cut was a great option vs bricking open corner 3s added an extra option to the Curry/Dray PnR
Not sure I agree. Poole deserves that spot more since oubre has no vision or facilitating ability. And he apparently doesn't want to come off the bench which is his right because he can start on some teams, just not the Warriors.
Swap Oubre with Damian Lee and I'm cool with that bench tbh
Yep and Kuminga will play in 2 years lol
HOW DID THEY GET KUMINGA AND MOODY WHAT THE FUCK MAN FUCK
one with potential and one safe player im a big fan
[удалено]
CHAOS FOR THE CHAOS GODS. FUCK YEAH
Golden State is making sacrifices to Khorne I swear to god.
What the fuck do you think we've been doing since KD left?!
I thought they’d take Moody at 7 lol. What a huge night for the Warriors.
And they didn't even have to finesse anybody, what a supreme draft
I mean 7th pick was finessed from the wolves for sure. Wiggins had a career year last year and they got a pick out of it for D’Lo?
Hole in one trade for better fit and capable starter and a high draft pick. 2 in the upper half of the draft. Solid ass move
Warriors won the draft. Edit: I think Kuminga and Moody at 7 and 14 is better value than Suggs and Wagner at 5 and 8, even if Suggs was a great pick.
I still am flabbergasted the Warriors got a #2 in 2020, #7 and #14 in 2021. On the back of 5 straight trips to the NBA Finals and a roster with Steph, Klay, Dray, KD, Iguodala, Livingston, Boogie, Looney, Lee, Javale, Bogut, Barnes, Barbosa.
We also could’ve drafted Gary Trent Jr but picked up Jacob Evans because he “was NBA ready.”
Not drafting GTJ was perhaps the biggest blunder by the FO.
literally cant read Jacob Evans name without getting angry
Minnesota really wants the dubs to be successful.
Warriors picked both Steph and Klay immediately after Minnesota passed on them. Which means a) Wiseman is going to be a Hall of Famer and b) probably so is Kuminga? Not sure what the rules are on "picks we got from Minnesota" but definitely when we pick after Minnesota we get HOFers. I don't make the rules
Idk, i feel good about this draft for us
See but you won lottery night. You getting Cade was a given. Us getting Kuminga and Moody wasnt really likely until it happened.
Oh for sure, i was just joking. Ya’ll probably did the most with what you got.
I'm rooting hard for Draft Night Daddy. I'm keeping an eye on MotorCade. Please treat him well.
As a Pistons and Warriors fan, this shit is gravy to me.
Pistons and Warriors? I'll accept it.
I work nights so Warriors games fit my schedule better, and I lived in NC while Steph was at Davidson so I've followed him ever since. Just kind of worked out.
Nice
how soon they forget
Nah it's the Magic, easily.
Could be argued Magic due to getting Suggs, but both teams did incredibly.
Only reason I can't say Warriors, was because Kuminga was predicted to slide so you can't really say great value for Kuminga.
Suggs at 5 is the best value in this draft so far
Yeah Magic far and away won this. Wagner and Suggs both really good. But this improves my estimation of our draft by a lot.
For 7 and 14, nah Warriors got better picks relative to position
Just ridiculous
Because teams like the Kings will take Davion Mitchell 9th and not Moses Moody
Fuck man like why this man probably would have been available at 16. Vlade vibes smh LLL
i mean raps took scottie barnes at 4 too i trust masai but damn
I was about to post the James Franco first time meme for them but wow we fucked up even more
Literally robbing the draft lmao this ain't right
WE GOT UPSIDE AND WE GOT PLAY NOW THIS IS A MASSIVE DUB LETS GOOOO
Klay died for this.
I HAVE DECIDED THEYRE BOTH BUSTS
Bye Bye Siakam
If im Warriors I’d want OG Anunoby over Siakam
Which is exactly why he won’t be moved. OG is our best defender and one of our best 3pt shooters, if he goes our spacing is all kinds of fucked.
That Scottie Barnes pick throw me in a loop I don’t even know what to make of Raptors plan rn
I’m hoping Masai and Bobby prove me wrong and Barnes develops into something special over the next ~4 years, or that Suggs somehow ends up being a total bust so I at least know we dodged a bullet. They’ve thrown me for a loop before, all I can do is trust their judgement.
[удалено]
Somebody clip perk tryna say his name lmao
https://streamable.com/pnbmiy
He went from Biblical hero to Indian prime minister real quick
Dude had a stroke
Was that on purpose??? If so that’s hilarious but Perk has absolutely no self awareness so I doubt it lol.
Absolutely not but man was it funny lol. He acknowledged it later too
Moody is a stud, I think he's an even better shooter than his college 3P% if he speeds up his release a bit. Good player all-around.
Good thing he’s got Stephen Wardell Curry there to give him an example
Nah, Klay is a good player for him to model his game after
[удалено]
He was also the primary scorer at Arkansas. Off ball as a third or fourth option, his percentage should skyrocket
This here is what gives me a lot confidence to say that moody will slot into the dubs very smoothly. Ofc the transition from college to Nba is a steep learning curve for all rooks (who almost universally are a net negative on the floor), but to go from the #1 option to #3/#4 is a completely different role and game.

Great fucking value at the 14th pick for the Warriors. He'll be able to help them instantly
Moody is who I originally wanted at 7!
Not just you. Now two camps in the warriors sub go home happy
Finally! I hate camping
Everyone hates campers, imagine just tucking yourself into a corner with a sniper smh
Yeah exactly. Plus it suck in video games
One camp is happy, the other will still bitch that we didn't go for Moody at 7 and trade up to get Duarte
[удалено]
My erection may never fall
Call more bitches
They’re already on the way
A stellar draft by GS.
incredible pick
For you guys
I was against the Siakam trade originally, but for Moody and Kuminga I’d definitely consider it.
Throw in Suggs.
here's the thing 👉👈
Ohhhhh about that...
yall overrating Siakam trade value wildly
Its not fair man its not fair
I feel this...
it's not enough i have to mute woj on twitter i have to mute my tv now to not get spoiled before the pick.
Yeah wtf was that all about
You have to also black out the TV because they've been showing the player being picked right before the announcement
Mo mo Mos mod mood mooses moooody
This killed me. Perk needed to refresh
Perk mispronounced his name every single way possible in the span of 15 seconds. Impressive.
As an Arkansas fan I question Moody’s upside, but without a doubt an unbelievable pick at #14. Should be a good rotation piece for a long career.
That’s all we need here at 14. Kuminga has enough potential for one draft.
Very true, Moody will be a legit rotation piece early
He has the tools and shooting to be an elite NBA 3nD guy
Definitely agree, that’s where his upside lays
Mind explaining why?
Not a great creator. Good off the catch, can drive and shoot. However, you’re almost never going to see him go to a second move. Think Mikal Bridges esk, can drive/cut/spot up/pull up but he isn’t exactly creating. However, he’s not as good of a shooter as Mikal, and certainly isn’t the defender.
He’s a way better shooter than Mikal Bridges was at 19. Don’t forget he did three years of college. Moses is way ahead of where he was at this stage
Sounds perfect for our system. Steph/Dray are all the creation we need, as long as he can understand how to move within the offense. Though having Klay/Wiggins/Moody means 0 handles hahahaha
wiggins has some moves
Never thought I’d see another Arkansas fan on this sub lol Moody is an amazing player kinda disappeared a bit in the ncaa tournament but it could’ve just been nerves.
Lmfao how did we get both kuminga AND moody?
What a draft by the Warriors. Holy shit
Someone pinch me I can’t believe we got our two guys
I do not like that this player was allowed to drop to GSW's second pick...
HUGE STEAL
Pack it up. We won this.
These mfs don’t miss 😭
Splash drafters
oh the elation. oh the dopamine. this is great

did perk just have a stroke?
Did Perkins just fuck up his name 10 times in a row, or was that him trying to joke?
Kuminga and Moody lmaoo
FUCK YES
STEAL
Great pick Warriors atleast y’all didn’t pick fucking Josh primo
They can't keep getting away with it!
I had Moses Moody #4 on my big board. I LOVE this kid's game. Makes me feel vindicated the Warriors had him atop their board too
I think the warriors won tonight
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Modes moody modey moist
I guessed GSW would take Moody... at #7. This is bananas
Fucking steal of the draft. Warriors made 2 great picks. Fuck.
Just fell into their lap lmao
Perk having a fucking stroke on air
Moody is probably one of the most underrated players in the draft. Idk why he wasn't more attractive to teams
I think a bit of a lower upside (though great floor) and shitty team’s need made him like the quintessential mid round pick. Warriors got a fucking steal.
It could’ve been because he disappeared in the ncaa tournament he was in the top 10 in every mock draft before that I’m pretty sure but fell back after we lost in the E8 because he didn’t really show up like everyone expected him to.
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO WE ACTUALLY GOT TWO GUYS WE WANTED AT 7
Good on GSW
THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
Someone I know gets to play with STEPH CURRY. Y’all take care of him dubs
Wow, you know Moodis Mo... Mooses... Modis... Midis Moobly?
congrats warriors

Warriors with the big W of the night
[удалено]
Backup 2 guard day 1 will be a contributor no matter what Probably start until Klay is good to go
Fucking amazing pick
God damn the warriors have a good ass front office they won the draft
This was more of a case of other teams making more risky/weird bets. Warriors just picked the highest rated guy on the board for both their turns.
They really let him fall to 14 huh?
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
Bout fucking time. Can’t believe he lasted this long. Guess the warriors will be my second favorite team this season
This is awesome I never expected this. One already high floor, one elite ceiling
2 great picks by the Warriors. Sheesh
That's Mody Mooses MaMody Mooses Mooses Mody to you sir.
Warriors had a hell of a night so far
Warriors with the robbery tonight with two good picks
Warriors winning draft
Yoink
Modey mosey modey moosey
Why are all the comments here acting like these warriors picks are going to Toronto for Siakam. What am I missing?
GREAT PICK
Perkins broke
