Former Arkansas Razorback and current rookie for the Golden State Warriors Moses Moody has gotten significant playing time during his first season in the National Basketball Association and has been productive by scoring 3.3 points per game in 9.5 average minutes played per game.
How big of an impression has Moody left on his head coach, Steve Kerr? Kerr discussed Moody’s development on “Dubs Talk”, a podcast dedicated to Golden State Warriors basketball from NBC Sports Bay Area by saying that Moody has adjusted well to the NBA.
“Moses, in a lot of ways, is the most advanced of the rookies including James Wiseman when you throw him in the mix given where he is in his development,” says Kerr. “Moses is really far along just because he has an advanced feel for the game.”
Kerr says he has an idea of why Moody is so advanced in his game, it is because of his time as a Razorback.
“He has the most experience of James (Wiseman) and Jonathan (Kuminga) by playing a full season at Arkansas and playing for Eric Musselman, a former NBA coach,” says Kerr. “Playing games that really matter, NCAA Tournament games playing in front of 12,000-15,000 people, that all matters. Moses came in at a more developed stage than James and Jonathan, and his game shows that.”
Wow. What a compliment by one of the best coaches in the league.
