The Golden State Warriors do not have a lot of young players on the roster right now.
However, the Dubs simply do not need multiple young players with huge potential, as they still have their core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green on the roster.
The organization only needs young studs who can support the trio in their twilight years.
Moses Moody has seemingly become a solid role player for the Warriors.
So much so that the Dubs have already exercised the fourth-year option in his contract, as revealed via Chris Haynes on Twitter.

For the 2023-24 season, Moody is making $3.91 million, and he has exceeded expectations so far.
Moody has averaged 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.5 assists on 56.0% shooting from the field and 41.2 % from downtown.
Considering Moody was a mid-first-round draft pick, the Warriors may have gotten their hands on one of the most underrated players of the 2021 NBA Draft.
With the Warriors exercising Moody’s fourth-year team option, the young guard will make $5.8 million in the 2024-25 season.
Moody’s improvement is certainly good news for the Warriors.
With Klay Thompson showing steep signs of decline in his game, the Dubs will need a trustworthy shooting guard for the future.
Moody could fulfill that role for the Warriors if he continues his strong start to the season.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, the 21-year-old is just getting started and he will need to perform consistently to even have a shot at replacing Thompson at the Golden State Warriors in the future.
