Watch Moody on this defensive possession. His defensive read to beeline it to the dunker’s spot when he leaves Bam to cover the pass to Highsmith that he knew Bam was going to throw before he had even thrown it was probably the hoop nerd in me’s favorite play of the game.


Admittedly weird and super hoop nerdy for this to be a play that stuck out to me so much let alone a favorite of a game with plenty of great moments lol but this kind of transition from on ball to off ball defensive awareness and engagement is the kind of stuff beautiful team defense is made of and that’s exactly what this possession was. Love to see it 🥹

  1. dont see what you’re seeing.

    Dray told him where to go. then went to the player that Wiggs already had covered forcing Wiggs to cover what Moses was supposed to cover

  2. Moody didn’t do anything special here

    Draymond took the matchup and told him to switch, Moody turns his head and sees Wiggins and GP2 and the two Miami players and hedges on covering the guy cutting

    If GP2 didn’t slide down and cover that gap, that could have been a disaster and wide open 3

    Solid team defense, Draymond being Draymond and while Moody didn’t do anything wrong, he didn’t do anything costly but I watch this and am more impressed by Wiggins and GP2 than Moody here

  3. You always put your hands up in passing lanes lol. That’s like basic youth basketball

  4. Cool OP, I for one appreciate your attention to detail here. Big play or not, Draymond directed or not, Moody is a quick study. I hope the best for that kid, regardless if he stays or doesn’t stay with the Dubs next year.

  5. Unfortunately I think he got benched because of that time he didn’t pass the ball to Klay who was open, similar thing happened on Sunday. I wish he could play through those mistakes. I think it’s hard for him to see the floor properly because he’s been in and out of the rotation all year.
