The Warriors drafted Moody with the 14th pick back in 2021. After riding the bench for most of his first two seasons, Moody turned into a valuable contributor for Golden State during the 2023-24 campaign.
In 66 games last season, Moody averaged 8.1 points on 46.2% shooting from the field with 3.0 rebounds over 17.5 minutes per game. Moody was a reliable three-point shooter with a 36.0% mark from beyond the arc on 3.0 attempts per game. The 6’6″ wing also provided Golden State with a valuable three-and-D presence option to pair next to Steph Curry.
There were rumblings last season that Moody was frustrated with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr over his role. But with Klay Thompson no longer in Golden State, Moody could play a much larger role in Kerr’s game plan next season.
