Warriors: Six Summer League storylines to keep an eye on

4. Is Moody ready for 15-20 minutes a night in the NBA?

Moses Moody was underwhelming in his two games at the California Classic, not that his game is conducive to this type of playstyle. For many, Summer League is about pressing your case for an NBA contract.

In an instance where someone like Moody spots up in the corner ready for an open three, the ball handler may instead attempt a tough finish over size in the interior. Therefore shots for catch-and-shoot players like Moody aren’t as forthcoming as they may be in the NBA.

Moody won’t necessarily make up for it with his own isolation scoring, he’s not that type of player. When he tried to play make and create off the dribble in the two California Classic games, he largely struggled.

That’s not to say he won’t be a highly valuable NBA player. Just that for this Summer League, the defensive end of the floor may be where he proves most valuable.

3. Can Baldwin Jr. overcome his ankle issues?

There’s still a chance that the Warriors’ first pick in the 2022 draft, Patrick Baldwin Jr., doesn’t partake in Summer League at all. But if he does, Golden State fans will be fascinated to see to what extent he’s overcome his ankle issue.

Baldwin dropped down draft boards significantly during his college year in Milwaukee, with the future determining how much that can be put down to the injuries he was struggling with.

The thought of him supplementing the Warriors’ more experienced players is an exciting prospect should he become available throughout the tournament.
