Golden State Warriors’ Moses Moody #4 is congratulated by Brandin Podziemski #2 after scoring in the second quarter of their NBA game against the Houston Rockets at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Monday, Nov. 20, 2023. First, you see his potential and invest. It’s even better when you see immediate returns. At this point, you want more. You want to see him grow up and glow up. You want to see the All-Star appearances.
In his 23 minutes, Jackson-Davis showed why he’s earned the opportunity, scoring 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting, six rebounds, and four blocks. Offensively, Jackson-Davis’ athleticism allows him to effectively rim-run, dunk, and use his muscle for easy baskets. The problem is that he will need a few counters when opposing defenses pack the paint and dare him to shoot.Jackson-Davis’ fixes are easy to identify. He can keep that same energy on defense but be disciplined. He doesn’t have to go for the blocks every time. He can position himself to contend shots without going for pump fakes.
In the final minute of that game, Kuminga fouled DeRozan for a go-ahead three-point play. He stayed with DeRozan until biting on the pump fake. In that instance as well as the others in this game, Kuminga should have stayed put and contested a firmly established shot. Granted, this is a small sample but it’s enough to be noticeable. I’ve also noticed that Moody struggles with ball handling. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr prioritizes players who can consistently take care of the ball which gives some insight as to why Moody was getting limited minutes before.For Moody, the only way that he can improve when it comes to shooting and even his confidence in other moments in the game is to get more reps in. He needs more freedom to play through his mistakes.
