Are we forgetting that Moore was actually 2-6 in his first game? Are we only remembering the 2 makes? Considering he isn't bringing much defense to the table, 2-6 doesn't excite me.
It so happens that I only saw the end of the game that included to good stuff so I too exaggerated his effectiveness for a bit. But ultimately, 1 game is an insufficient sample size to evaluate a player. Most guys on a roster have the ability to hit 2 shots in a row.
I am wary of Ben Gordon syndrome where fans only remember big shots that go in and forget all the horrible misses that cost his team more than they benefit from having him. This is part of the reason why bad players who just score often get paid more than good players who do everything else.
I agree that people get excited easily and that we have no way of knowing how good Moore is yet. And based solely on draft position, the odds are probably against him
That said, while I know this is meaningless, he simply
looks like an NBA player to me. He has a certain flow and confidence, definitely what I like to see from a 4-year college player.
Again, I know that doesn't mean anything and it's just an opinion, but I at least think he has the chance to be a contributor
And if he turned into a Ben Gordon type, that would be ridiculously fortunate for us.
