In the Game between the Warriors and the Nuggets, Warriors rookie Moody's was too good. As the team's draft player last year, he didn't get much chance to perform before this game, most of the time he was developing the league or playing in the final minutes of the game, compared to Cuminga's entry into the rotation lineup, Moody's had not been reused before. However, in this game, Moody was reused by Kerr, he gained a lot of playing time and the ball, and he also successfully showed his talent on the field. Moody played 36 minutes and 28 seconds, scored 30 points, shot five three-pointers on the outside, was very efficient, and he was one of the warriors' best players in this game.
It is worth mentioning that in this game, Moody also set a Warriors record, this year Moody is only 19 years old, in this age group to get 30 points. He also became the warrior's all-time player to score the highest number of points in a single game before the age of 20, after Kuminga scored 26 points. It can be said that this game is Moody's best performance in the NBA since he was selected by the Warriors, and in the absence of core players, Moody shined and played a stunning performance, which helped the team very well.
After the game, Warriors coach Kerr also praised Moody's performance, Kerr said: "He (Moody) has been fantastic, he has kept the suspense for our game, and in my opinion, he will be the cornerstone of the team for a long time to come. For a player who has just entered the league for less than a season, Kerr sees him as the cornerstone of the team's future, which is a very high evaluation, and from this aspect, it is enough to see how optimistic Kerr is about Moody's future.
In fact, in the past two games, Moody's performance has made Kerr's eyes shine, including when facing the Lone Rangers, Moody was in danger in the last quarter, he scored 13 points in a single quarter of 5 shots, becoming the most eye-catching player in the warriors' final quarter. In the last game against the Lakers, Moody scored 9 points on all 4 shots, which was very efficient. The efficient performance in the past two games has also allowed Moody to win the trust of Kerr, who has given Moody such a long playing time, and Kerr is also looking forward to Moody's more surprises for himself.
And in this game, Moody finally did it, with 30 points in the whole game, helping the team to bite the score in the final moments. It is believed that after this game, Moody's will be able to enter the team's rotation lineup and will have more playing time in subsequent games.
Moody's is a very promising young player because he is only 19 years old this year, the technology is not yet fully mature, and in this case, Moody's ability to play a single game of 30 points in the game, from this aspect, it is enough to see how high Moody's potential and ceiling are. If the Warriors focus on cultivating him in the next game, I believe That Moody will not disappoint, he will have a better performance in the next game, and is expected to become the cornerstone of the team's future in Kerr's mind.
