Development from rookies/Wiseman

It was understood that bringing both Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody up to speed would take some time. The two rookies were not joining a typical lottery team. Rather, they had the expectations of being conducive to winning right away.

For this reason, Kuminga and Moody have spent some time in the G-League recently. There, they have both had their fair share of glory, combining for 62 points just a few weeks ago.

As patient as we have all been, it is hard to hold back the excitement and anticipation for these two guys.

Kuminga showed his worth against New York, injecting the Warriors with life early in the first half.

"“He did give us life. Hopefully, he can build on that, we can build on that, continue to get him more minutes.” Draymond Green on Kuminga"

Earlier in the season, Moody had a few moments that brought energy to the team as well. His activity on defense and relentless pursuit of offensive rebounds led to some electric put-backs. Once his 3-point shot starts falling, Moody will be a real difference-maker.

Lastly, we are all hoping to see James Wiseman have a strong sophomore season. The contributions he can bring in the paint on both ends of the floor can not be understated.
