Golden State Warriors: Ranking each member of young core by ceiling

Moses Moody can be an honorary Splash Brother for Golden State Warriors

Moses Moody has a lot of the same raw offensive potential Jordan Poole has developed over the years. However, his superior physical build and stronger 3-point shooting stroke make Moody an incredibly exciting prospect.

Moody has been a shooter all of his life. He led Arkansas in scoring (16.8 points) and 3-point shooting (58 total 3-pointers) as a freshman — clicking on over 35 percent of his attempts from deep. This success carried over to the Las Vegas Summer League where he continued being a high-volume, high-efficiency threat to shoot the deep ball.

Allowing space for the usual growing pains, Moody should be a nearly instant contributor for the Dubs. He’s a natural floor spacer who excels at hunting out 3-point shots for himself. Most of all, however, Moody has the eye-popping physical traits of a future All-NBA Defender.

Moody has an unreal 7’1″ wingspan. He’s going to contest opponents at a good rate, even as a rookie.

With proper development, Moody has a chance to be the heir apparent to Klay Thompson. Of course, he won’t be the generational shooter that Klay is but Moody can be the 3-and-D prototype that makes Thompson so valuable.
