I think you’re right. I REALLY like Moore and his potential which may not have been truly hitting on all cylinders until his Sr year.
If I’m in Vegas, my money is on scenario that CDS prob loved Moore’s potential, but also said, based on stats, Moore’s role would prob be, rebounds, put backs, rim runs, and lockdown defender - make a living off the shooters’ misses. I’m guessing Moore wants to have license to shoot - I would too; he has potential - and with a limited role, Moore couldn’t get to his NBA dream as a thinner 6’7” SF that doesn’t have proven/respected jump shot. Big loss at this moment. Maybe CDS has someone new in mind to help fill role.
Agree with this. I LOVE Moore's potential and athleticism, and I think there's a role for him on any team (as you pointed out), BUT I don't think he fully fits the role of what Stoudamire wants from a Guard or a Forward. That would cut into his playing time and Moore most likely would be a spot reserve under Stoudamire. Moore is a "tweener" on this level.
You hate to lose talent, and I think Moore will be a good talent for some team out there. Stoudamire is basically ripping the bandage off this team...the results on the floor will be the ultimate judge of whether it was the best decision.
