Why dont people like Moore??? Like I said in the chatroom he can be the next Delonte West. Combo guard that GETS BUCKETS. hes a good offensive player can shoot or put it on the deck.
Defense. Delonte is good at it, Moore isn't.
In response to the original topic:
I can't say I like what I've seen of either of the two. JaJuan seems like a tweener to me. He's too thin to play the four, and it's more than a matter of simply gaining weight or strength - he has a high center of gravity and post players will be able to move him simply by gaining leverage. I also don't think he's quick enough to play SF, although the jury is still out on this one. Add that to the fact that I don't think he'll score enough to make up for his shortcomings. He needs to clean up that jumpshot, find a quicker release (or at least get more accurate with the shot that he has - Bass proves that you don't need a quick shot to be an effective shooter). Also, develop a face-up game going to the basket. He should be able to outquick most 4's and then use his athleticism to score over defenders at the rim.
E'Twaun Moore doesn't run the offense well enough to be a PG, doesn't score well enough to be an SG, and can't defend either of the two. He has a better shot of making it as a shooting guard, but he really needs to work - he takes too many bad shots and misses too many good shots at this point. At best I see him as a gun off the bench, but I have a hard time envisioning him as a real weapon - not on the level of Jet, Ben Gordon, Jamal Crawford or any guys like that.
Too soon to consider them busts, and in E'Twaun's case I don't think anything is expected of his draft position anyway. But at this point, I see more reasons for concern than I do reasons for optimism.
