NBA Market: Golden State Warriors extend Moses Moody's contract

NBA Market: Golden State Warriors have reached an agreement with Moses Moody for a contract extension of 3 more seasons in exchange for 39 million dollars.

Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul confirmed the news to ESPN. The 2021 14th overall draft pick has been negotiating with a player who has never quite caught Steve Kerr's eye but is expected to have a more prominent role in their rotation this season.

Last year, he averaged 17.5 minutes per game in the 66 games he played, posting career-best numbers: 8.1 points and 3 rebounds. Kerr stated at the end of the past season that he wanted to see a more aggressive Moody in shooting, especially in catch-and-shoot situations. Moody has averaged 15.5 points in 20 minutes during the preseason with a 39% accuracy from beyond the arc.

Will he earn Steve Kerr's trust?

«He's playing really well,» Kerr commented. «He has improved a lot in many aspects. We have always liked his character, his work ethic. This is the most confidence he has played with."

However, as we mentioned, he was never Steve's favorite and it won't be easy. «But so are many other boys,» Kerr said. «We're in the coaches' room every day, saying, 'How are we going to play with all these guys?' Because they all deserve to play. I have asked them all to play at their best, to make it tough for us.»
