Many fans have been criticizing Kerr's hiring this season, and Podzemski's three-point shooting percentage this season is very poor, only 20%, but it has been reused by Kerr. And Moody, who has been excellent from beyond the three-point line, has still not been trusted by Kerr this season. With Moody averaging 39 percent three-pointers per game this season, it stands to reason that he deserves more playing time. But even though Moody has signed a contract extension with the Warriors, Kerr doesn't seem willing to give him consistent playing time. Many fans have been unclear about Cole's employment.
Recently, some executives in the league have thought the Warriors might trade Moody. He might be given away as a bargaining chip for a big deal. That's why they think Cole doesn't like to use Moody's.
It is reported that the Warriors are interested in Kuzma, and Moody does not rule out that it will become a bargaining chip in a big trade for the Warriors in the future. Because in Kerr's philosophy of employing people, he doesn't seem to like Moody's way of playing. First of all, Moody does deviate from the Warriors' system on the court. Moody is slow to move the ball when he gets the ball on the court, which means he doesn't have a particularly thorough understanding of the Warriors' system. Probably because of the habit he developed in college, Moody still prefers to observe the defense after holding the ball and then make decisions rather than moving the ball quickly.
Also, Moody's is a bit slow in terms of foot movement, especially in traverse speed. Although Moody has good physical attributes and three-point shooting, including the finishing ability under the basket. But Kerr prefers to use a defender like Podzemski, who prefers to pass the ball. This may be Cole's preference in terms of hiring.
For Moody, leaving the Warriors couldn't be better. Because Moody's type of player goes to a weak team, he is fully capable of playing as a starter. His type of player is better suited to play in a team with a simple offense. The more complex the tactics, the more bothering him became. Including Kuminga is also a player who prefers simple offenses. But Kuminga has more talent and a higher ceiling than Moody. That's why the Warriors are reluctant to give up Kuminga.
In short, playing with the Warriors, Kerr prefers some team-oriented players and prefers some smart players. That's why Kerr likes to use defenders who love to pass the ball. If Moody leaves the Warriors in the future, I hope he can play more resolutely on other teams, seize the opportunity, and prove himself again.
