NBA DRAFT

July 29, 2021

Moses Moody

Q. When you woke up this morning on draft morning did you expect to put on the hat of the Golden State Warriors when it was all said and done and the second part is, what can you bring to the Warriors, if fans have never seen you play before?

MOSES MOODY: Honestly, I had no idea where I was going to end up when I woke up this morning, but I'm glad I'm here. And then I'm a shooter, that's what I do and but I can also do some things with the ball in my hands and really showcase a lot.

Q. What do you think about your general fit with the Warriors? I know you had conversations with Draymond and you were in for a couple workouts, just what do you think about what you can be for them right away?

MOSES MOODY: Yeah, I feel like can I get in and have a good place with the team that they have now and really contribute as soon as possible, but I'm willing to wait and develop as much as they need me to.

Q. With all the hard work that's came up to this moment, how did it feel to have the Commissioner finally call your name?

MOSES MOODY: I got it on inside of my jacket, it said, "This is why I did what I did." This is why I did what I did. It's been a long process and that's not just to say the last couple months, it's been a life-long process. I've always sacrificed for this moment and for the moments to come because this is not the end, this is the beginning.

Q. So you're headed to the Golden State Warriors, you may play alongside some great talent immediately. What do you look to take off of guys like Steph Curry and the vets that are on your team and implement that kind of stuff into your game?

MOSES MOODY: I couldn't even, I don't even know what all them are going to teach me because I know they have so many small little tricks and nuances to get an advantage on the other team, but given how great they are, how great the team is, I mean in that environment I have no choice but to get better.

Q. How do you feel about going to the Warriors where there is a championship-like team already right now? How does that change your mindset and how you look to develop there quickly?

MOSES MOODY: I'm extremely excited. I like to play obviously on winning teams and to win games and that team can really do it. I'm just glad to be a part of a winning program.
