Why the Warriors should be giving more minutes to Moses Moody

With a playoff push by the Golden State Warriors apparently unlikely, it's time for head coach Steve Kerr to plug third-year guard Moses Moody back into the rotation.

Moody's minutes have been inconsistent this season (16.9 per game), and he hasn't done himself any favors by shooting 33.5% from three. Because of his sporadic playing time, he has averaged only three attempts per game from deep. 

However, Moody — who averages only 7.9 points — has shown he's a better shooter than his percentage indicates.

In the eight games Moody started this season, he averaged 13 points, shooting 40% from three and 53.4% from the field. In those games, the Warriors went 6-2. 

Additionally, in the 2022-23 playoffs Moody shot 59.1% from distance on 22 attempts, showing the former Arkansas guard can perform under pressure against strong defenses. 

Even when his shot isn't falling, Moody has proved to be a competent defender.
