Overview: Moore is a 5-10 senior guard from Carmel, Ind. As a junior, Moore averaged 1.2 points and 0.7 assists per game. The former first team all-state basketball and soccer player entered 27 games for the Hoosiers last season. As a sophomore, Moore had the team's highest free-throw percentage at 82.4 percent. The former walk-on also registered ten starts in his freshman campaign and averaged 17.2 minutes per game.
Best Case: Moore becomes a reliable backup point guard. Moore is a guy that can be trusted to handle the ball and distribute when Jordan Hulls is getting a breather or is in foul trouble. His decision-making improves, which prevents the Hoosiers from getting out of their offensive rhythm. Moore still isn't by any stretch a scorer but he is able to knock down the occasional three ball and can sink free-throws late in games.
Worst Case: The always-undersized Moore gets exploited like never before. Moore continues to fail to develop any offensive strength, making the Hoosiers skip an offensive beat when he's in for Hulls. His scrappy play on defense turns into fouls on the perimeter with quicker Big Ten point guards beating him off the dribble. Moore's struggles forces IU to turn to the likes of off-guards Verdell Jones and Victor Oladipo to do the ball-handling without Hulls on the floor.
Outlook: Moore's biggest strength has been his ability to provide a defensive spark plug for IU. When the Hoosiers appear sluggish defensively, Moore is the guy that comes in and gets after it. As a senior, expect Moore to continue that role. He'll see some increased minutes with the graduation of Jeremiah Rivers but don't expect much offensively. Any---and I mean any---offense you get from Moore besides distributing the ball is gravy. Look for Moore to become IU's backup point guard and average about 7-9 minutes per game.
