The Golden State Warriors enter Sunday's Las Vegas finale against the Washington Wizards at 1-6 in Summer League play, with five of those losses coming by double digits. Don't conflate that lack of team-wide success with automatic discouragement about Golden State's talented young players, though.

The Warriors were never going to be as cohesive at the California Classic or in Sin City as they proved last month while winning a remarkable fourth championship in eight seasons, especially with marquee players coming in and out of the lineup throughout July. Summer League isn't about winning as much as individual growth anyway, a golden opportunity for players to prove their rotation bonafides or earn a training camp invite ahead of the regular season.

Beware of taking too much from July basketball, though. Tempting as it is to conflate takeaways from Utah, Chase Center and Las Vegas with analysis from the 82-game grind or even postseason pressure cooker, it's always crucial they're presented under the unique, unpredictable context of Summer League. But Dub Nation has the entirety of 2022-23 to dig deeper into more meaningful evidence about key young players. Why not have some fun before summer is over?

Here are the four biggest Warriors overreactions from 2022 NBA Summer League.

Warriors overreactions from 2022 NBA Summer League

Moses Moody has legitimate star potential

Golden State's rising sophomore wing is primed for a real rotation spot under Steve Kerr next season after Gary Payton II left for the Portland Trail Blazers in free agency. His long-range shooting ability, active on-ball defense and two-way poise should make Moody an easy fit off the bench for the Warriors, whose motion-based offense and switch-heavy defense play into his inherent strengths.

But all that was clear before he ever took the floor this summer. More significant is what Moody's performance in Summer League reveals about his ultimate potential as a versatile, bucket-getting scorer.

Moody exploded for 34 points in Golden State's Las Vegas opener, draining three triples and filling gaps as a finisher while living at the free throw line, where he went 15-of-17. He shot 7-of-8 at the line during his only other appearance in Las Vegas, compensating for shooting struggles en route to 21 points.

Moody isn't the longest or most explosive wing, and doesn't have an especially creative handle at this point. But his burgeoning comfort as a table-setter and penetrator popped in Summer League regardless, with defenders left fooled and frustrated by Moody's size, changes of pace and overall composure with the ball in his hands. Odds are still firmly against Moody evolving into a primary creator, but it's obvious he has much more juice off the bounce than early prognostications of his career trajectory suggested.

Here's hoping Moody shows it off in flashes throughout 2022-23.

James Wiseman is ready for a regular-season role

The numbers are pretty underwhelming, and the eye test has been for the most part, too. Wiseman has just three assists in three games, evidence of his continued focus on getting his own offense first and foremost. He infamously grabbed just two rebounds in his long-awaited return to the floor and is averaging a team-high 8.3 fouls per 36 minutes. The inexperienced 21-year-old still screens like a high schooler.

Wiseman's feel and understanding, obviously, leave much to be desired. But Draymond Green already drove home just how naive it was to assume he'd shine, even against substandard summer competition, after 15 months away from competitive basketball. Expecting Wiseman to look like the former No. 2 overall pick every time he took the court was setting yourself up for disappointment.

Still, Wiseman exhibited the rare tools and burgeoning skill that made him a blue-chip prep prospect in an exhilarating first four minutes of his Las Vegas debut, and generally played with the physicality and engagement that sometimes proved fleeting during his disappointing rookie season. Just as important? Wiseman, finally, looks healthy, bouncing off the floor for powerful dunks and towering blocks, ready and willing to throw his body around in the paint.

Kevon Looney is entrenched as Golden State's starting center during the regular season. Wiseman would no doubt have to force Kerr's hand into playing three centers (along with Draymond Green) come playoff time. But another title affords the Warriors more license to prioritize his growth before mid-April, and Wiseman was solid enough in Summer League to believe doing so won't directly compromise their standing in the Western Conference.

Jonathan Kuminga's jumper has a long way to go

Kuminga followed up the “worst game of his life” with 57 points across his next two appearances in Las Vegas, shooting a solid 47.7% from the field. His elite physical gifts were on display throughout Summer League, too. Kuminga got to the free throw line whenever he wanted, his size and burst off the dribble overwhelming primary defenders, and had multiple defensive possessions that portend his hopeful future as a multi-positional stopper.

This isn't exactly something you can teach, either.

Kuminga can be a very valuable as an explosive finisher, hard-charging driver and seamless switch defender. But both scraping his sky-high ceiling and cementing himself as an impact player in 2022-23 is dependent on Kuminga developing a reliable jumper, and there was nothing in Las Vegas to suggest it's happening.

The 20-year-old enters Sunday's action at 5-of-25 from 3-point range, also mixing a few impressive made turnaround jumpers from mid-range with multiple air balls and ugly misses. More troubling? He's 16-of-34 from the free throw line in Las Vegas, just below 50%.

The sample size is small, and it bears mentioning that most of Kuminga's misses at the line came in his first two games, while he was shaking off jet lag and some inevitable rust after spending a couple weeks back home in the Congo. Perhaps his free throw struggles are just a blip on the radar. Given the long- and short-term importance of Kuminga threatening defenses from the perimeter, though, his all-around shooting woes are cause for minor concern nonetheless.

Gui Santos is a late-draft steal

Santos probably won't play a single minute for Golden State in the regular season, and could even be stashed for another year in Brazil before Bob Myers and company decide to bring him stateside full-time. The stats don't support the notion that he impressed during Summer League, either, especially as a playmaker. He has totaled just three assists compared to 11 turnovers in Las Vegas, continuing that inverse trend from the California Classic.

Ignore Santos' rough numbers and his diminished role when playing with Wiseman and Kuminga, though. The 20-year-old possesses innate dribbling and passing chops at 6'8”, exhibiting creativity and nuance while setting up shots for himself and his teammates that's normally reserved for point guards or older star wings.

Santos isn't sudden or explosive, deficiencies that will loom even larger against NBA defenders. His comfort as a ball handler may not matter at the next level if defenses aren't forced to close-out to him hard, wary of him launching catch-and-shoot triples.

But every second-round pick has obvious holes in their game. Few boast the blend of size and playmaking talent Santos already has at such an early stage of his professional career.
