"Moses Moody rarely dribbles the ball more than once or twice in a given Warriors possession. He is a good athlete, but no one would ever describe him as a high-flying phenom. His shots tend to come off the catch, after a teammate has created an advantage. Nothing about Moody's game is particularly flashy. But his skillset is invaluable for a Warriors lineup that needs the two things the Arkansas native supplies in abundance: shooting prowess and strong man-to-man defense."
"Moody, 23, has a quick and compact motion, one that helped him go 5 of 7 from behind the arc and score 20 points off the bench in a victory over Memphis on Monday night. It was his second game since coming back from a calf injury that held him out of the first two regular season matchups. Moody played 21 minutes in the first game back in Portland, and ticked up to 22 in the sequel."
"The stats back it up. Last season, the Warriors outscored opponents by 4.8 points per 100 possessions when Moody was on the floor. If Moody was not open, he passed the ball and kept the offense running smoothly. Moody, who rarely takes credit for his big scoring nights, deflected attention to the collective when questioned about his hot shooting. "It is a good day when everyone has a good day," Moody said."
Moses Moody operates primarily as a catch-and-shoot wing who seldom dribbles more than once or twice in a possession. He uses a quick, compact shooting motion to provide reliable floor spacing and knocked down five of seven 3s for 20 points off the bench in a recent win. Moody missed early games with a calf injury and has returned to play roughly 21–22 minutes. He offers strong man-to-man defense alongside shooting, passes when not open to maintain offensive flow, and contributes to a plus-4.8 net rating per 100 possessions when on the floor. Moody emphasizes team success over individual scoring nights.
