GreatBasketballLegendaryMichael JordanIt was once said, "Talent is only a small part of success, and hard work is the key." "However, on the Warriors, a player with great potential has spent his career in obscurity in the shadow of his talent being buried. That player was Moody, a young and hard-working manDefenders。Within the Warriors, Moody has been abandoned and ignored, and the dilemmas and challenges he faces can only make us feel sorry and helpless.
The Warriors, after their five-game winning streak, thought they were in peak form. However, the back-to-back defeats have made them wake up to the limits of their own strength. This losing streak among opponents, there is no likeCelticTeams that are strong, but those who are on the fringes or at the bottom of the playoffs. These losing streaks have widened the gap between the Warriors and the top 10 in the West. Next, they will face the Magic and Nuggets in a row, and it will be very difficult to turn the tide. This result makes us wonder what makes the Warriors' performance so unsatisfactory
In the Warriors, head coachColeExcessive trust in veterans has led to the suppression of young players. Wiseman, Poole, Baldwin and others were traded away, while Kuminga forced management to make personnel changes, and finally got to the top with Wiggins lost. However, the distribution of roles within the Warriors is still unclear. Especially in this matchupLone rangerMoody was completely abandoned and didn't even sit on the bench.
Meanwhile, veteran Paul and youngster Tres Davies were given a chance to start. This arrangement caused Moody to completely lose his place on the team. AbsolutelyColeStubbornness in scheduling is also one of the reasons for the current situation of the Warriors. He didn't dare to offend the veterans, and he didn't want to give up those he thought he could trust. As a result, young players like Moody, honest people with no temper, became the target of sacrifice by the coaching staff.
Moody's performance this season has certainly had some issues with efficiency, but crucially, he's not getting consistent roles and playing time. On the Warriors, any young player can feel depressed by a lack of consistent playing time. Especially on the field, they will not dare to show their abilities for fear of making mistakes. Despite being a lottery pick, Moody has shown great performance in his previous playoffs as a solid 3-and-D player.
This season, however, the Warriors have given him very little playing time. Such an environment makes it difficult for Moody's to find a more stable form and further improve his level. What's more, Moody's role with the Warriors has always been uncertain, and he can easily be caught for a small mistakeColeSubstitution and then sitting on the bench for a long time. In this case, even the most promising players can feel frustrated and disappointed. As a result, Moody's talent was buried in such a predicament as the Warriors.
Moody isn't a top-level talent, but as a rookie with the 14th pick in the '21 first round, he's a 3-and-D player to look forward to. In the playoffs over the past two seasons, Moody has 538% and 59With a 1% three-point shooting percentage, he showed excellent shooting ability. This is still in the case of him not getting many opportunities, it is purely the result of his own efforts to improve. If Moody's team really values him, I believe his ceiling is more than that.
However, the way the Warriors treated Moody didn't give him enough opportunity to prove himself. Moody was abandoned and ignored with the Warriors, and he was left with just two years of $9.7 million on his rookie contract. Obviously, the Warriors are uncertain about Moody's contract extension. All he needs is time and opportunity to show himself, but at the Warriors, that seems to be a luxury.
Moody's experience with the Warriors is a shame. He has worked hard and sweated for the team, but he has been buried in the team's role and stubbornness. Despite his shortcomings, as a young player, he needs consistent playing time and a clear role assignment to show his potential and ability. The Warriors need to re-examine and adjust their approach to young players and hiring them, giving them more opportunities and trust in order to truly bring out the best in the team.
For the sake of Moody and his career, I hope that the Warriors can value and cherish such a potential player and give him more opportunities and development space. After all, talent is still there, and as long as there is a chance, Moody's will be able to prove his strength and worth. I hope he can find his own stage and realize his career dream.
