Kerr: Moody has to fill Wiggins role as the main defender because Butler is not this type of player

In the NBA preseason, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 129-123.

After the game, Warriors coach Cole accepted an interview with reporters. Talking about Moody's starting, he said: "He has to protect the ball. He has to enter the starting lineup and become our main defender, just like Wiggins did before. Therefore, with Wiggins leaving, there is a vacancy in this position, because Jimmy is not that kind of player."

In this campaign, Moody felt bad. He made 4 of 12 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 shot. The plus or minus value is -10.
