moldy moody! lol

Mike Peterson

Can't wait to hear your take on free agency. Looks like Lebron is working on his own personal reboot of Golden Girls.

Alex deB

Alch talk about the signing of jaquori mclaughlin! He was a steal as well. Move over Nico

Andrej Krickovic

Giddey? WTF? Australian league: didn't a broken-down Andrew Bogut win the MVP there a few years ago? We caught a real break there.

ACowNamedStan

National tv bro 😂😂

Yavor Danev

LOL @ Perkins, I'm dying. 😂

Luke Zhang

Can't front I wasn't really paying attention to Giannis his first years. I'd be happy if Kuminga was a solid bench rotation guy, maybe like an 8th or 9th man by end of year. Not sure if those expectations are too high

Joshua Davis

What I see in Kuminga. https://images.app.goo.gl/mNiobPc3nqjxY4AN7

Summer league is going to be 🔥

Joshua Davis

If we got a the same output as Gianni's first 3 years how do you feel?

Jimmy Ji

Also forgot to mention, Kuminga is what 18 years old? I'm calling it now, in 5 years he's going to be 6'11" 245 lbs and will have a similar frame as Giannis. He's got African genes so you know its going to happen.

boyyy when you look at mody moody

Ryan Koppelman

Whew-wee. That was a ride last night. I really thought we should be drafting for the highest ceiling at 7 and someone who was a better mix of ceiling and potential early contributor at 14. With those as my criteria, I don't think we could have been better that Kuminga and Moody with what was on the board at the time. With this new development staff, this could be really interesting, especially if we could get a Batum or another rotational win-now free agent (or two) on the cheap. Fingers crossed for that next step. But, I'm liking this draft.

Ash

not for a few years tho. Kuminga is just so intriguing too bad hes very raw and needs a lot of work

Luke Zhang

Also Kuminga is so tantalizing but we almost gotta trade him right? We don’t have the 2-3 years for him to develop and his value should still be pretty high.

Luke Zhang

As far as keeping the picks and actually drafting this feels like a best case scenario. A lot of the casuals in the fandom saw the Westbrook trade and assumed we had to give up everyone for a superstar, but no one’s on the table. Other than Beal who looks like he’s staying who is there? Simmons and Siakim don’t move the needle for me. With Kuminga and Wiseman now that’s a hard package to beat for a team looking to trade a star for young pieces. Wouldn’t mind looking into some of Pacers’ assets (Turner, Brodgon, Warren?) should they want to rebuild

Lars Ness

Love it!

John Pettus

I guess we're telling Nico to stay in Italy, huh?

Thomas Joseph

Lmao wow what a name

Thomas Joseph

Lmao my boy was legit excited, good to see you Alc

Aidan Willner

Perk having a stroke low key killed me. What a draft though, I’m stoked on Kuminga and Moody!

ACowNamedStan

Did you see that sh*t Philly was playing? Lol

Wiggins-Kuminga archipelago is wild

Jim

Thank you on Giddy. So many people wanted that kid he's built like a piece of paper. Maybe he will be great but that's a pick that seems way riskier than JK. JK gonna dunk on LeBron next year

Ford Carlson

I was dying when Giddy got picked

Vishnu Veeravalli

Alc what was your reaction to the Spurs picking primo?

richard phan

Great draft btw. We loaded up on shooting and a big wing. Imagine Wiggins wise and kuminga locking up the other team

richard phan

Some niggas had him 2nd round. I’m dead 💀💀

Ken Bradford

Maaan i fucking hate warriors Twitter sometimes so fucking delusional on everything. Like what trade was there to significantly improve the team? You can't make a trade without the other side saying yes !!!! This was a great draft.

Thomas T

Twitter fingers at 2:00

Ken Bradford

But it's warriors Twitter they think we can trade for everything they want

Jimmy Ji

Moody was an excellent pick and is probably a better fit than Oubre. Moody also allows us to slowly ease Klay back into the rotation. Good riddance, Mychal Mulder. I hope we never have to play him ever again.

Dirty Spud

This was dope alch!! Pretty damn good draft. Gotta get cuz on the pod too!

Branden Edwards

Straight up I'm ecstatic. Got a guy that can contribute immediately and a kid to develop with all-star upside. Bob did good

Diosdado

Your hoping seems to work, can you hope the Warriors are at most 6th seed... No play in next season

Russ

Good point about the parents being around. That should help him concentrate on just playing ball.

Joshua Davis

On the broadcast I was watching they said kuminga hasn't seen his parents since he moved to the states at 13. I can't imagine how hard that would be. His parents are now here and staying with him so that should really help him just as a person. Im thinking this will translate to more consistent effort on court. Also having a newly beefed up training staff won't hurt either. Wiseman Kuminga Moody Poole Mannion is quite the second coming.

Major Powers

Sam Vecenie had Kuminga and Moody going 5th and 7th. And he's got a pretty good track record.

Major Powers

That was fucking golden.

Kevin Chan

Lmao a week ago dudes were trying to decide between Kuminga and Moody at 7, and somehow we stole Moody at 14?? For some reason I kinda understand why Thunder pick Giddey, I watched Giddey live in person in Aus, the kid has some special talent, but definitely not a 6th pick though. When spurs made their pick my reaction was "WHO???" Overall grade A draft, still wish they drafted Mitchell, but like you said can't complain about Kuminga dude is a top 3 prospect talent wise

Keith Reynolds Jr.

I got Moody so I am happy.

Russ

I'm happy as hell, thanks for the Video. Moody was a steal at 14. Both are the classic Warrior wingspan picks. It's like clockwork that they put heavy importance on wingspan. Both these guys can defend because it will be hard to coast at this level especially with Kerr. When we were up at 7 I was hoping they took Kuminga, when 14 came up I was hoping Moody.

Drew Stanwood

I was waiting for the reaction to perks mini stroke lmao

Hg80

Harry Potter on stilts 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤪💀

Paradox

Moses Kuminga

Morris Kennedy

MODDA MOODI

Paradox

I dont know who we picked but im gonna watch this and find out

William Mitchell

Moody made my night bearable, the Kuminga pick is banking on the development staff being the greatest thing since the championship Raptors.

Michael E

Very solid value draft. A little concerned that Kuminga lacks the mindset to take full advantage of his gifts ala Wiggins 2.0, but he is a great piece for trades or for the long term future. Moody at 14 is just right. I think they keep him. Alongside Poole they just might be a little “different” for teams to match up with.

Noah

This was a good ass draft for us considering what was out there! Also this reaction vid >>>>>>>

You’re the GOAT!

KendrickTheCreative

Perkins lmao he can never do right. 😭 so happy about our draft picks!

Steve

Kuminga + Moody...is actually a near A+ draft night at 7 and 14 for the Warriors. Obviously a lot of unexpected picks happen but just two weeks ago, no one would have thought the Warriors would get those two
