The Warriors have signed swingman Moses Moody to his rookie scale contract, the team announced on social media today.
Moody, 19, averaged 16.8 points and 5.8 rebounds in 33.8 minutes per contest (32 games) as a freshman at the University of Arkansas last season.
Golden State picked Moody with the No. 14 pick in this year’s draft. The Warriors also held the No. 7 pick in the draft, choosing to select G League Ignite player Jonathan Kuminga.
The Warriors dealt with numerous injuries last season and finished with a 39-33 record. Having young pieces such as Kuminga and Moody will be imperative for the future, though the team remains focused on contending with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson,and other veterans in the present day.
Moody is set to earn $3.56MM next season and $17MM in total on his four-year rookie contract. As we previously relayed, the Warriors signed Kuminga to his rookie scale deal as well. It will pay him $5.46MM next season and $24.85MM in total.
He looks NBA ready. Hope they don’t trade him for nothing like Paschal, when his contract is almost up
You do realize that they used a pick in the 40s to get, and they got a pick in the 40s for him.
Not sure on his ceiling but if he stays healthy he will play 15 years in this league. Might be an end of bench guy, or an all-star, but all his skills are immediately apparent. It’s weird that GSW probably could have gotten Moody and Kuminga no matter where they picked them, 7 or 14.
No matter how much we hype these guys, they will be non factors this year for contending.
Did you watch the SL games ????
Try following your team. 18 and 19 pts.
Moody is yrs away. Kuminga can start next yr.
From Marty’s post, you might think he kind of liked Moody. But if the Warriors had followed his advice. They would never have gotten Moody, or Kuminga. Maybe, at some point, Marty will learn something about Basketball.
I doubt it. It’s not ball he cares about. It’s all about players he likes or dislikes. I think Kuminga has a chance to be special. Better than Siakam.
