ANALYSIS: Moore had a breakout season, finally coming into his own during his junior year. At 6-foot-5, he has good positional size, strength, and athleticism at guard. While Moore remains streaky as a three-point shooter, he proved to be a reliable three-level scorer this year for the Blue Devils. He is still 20 years old with more room to develop, making him a very promising prospect.
