He shot about .350 from deep, which is around guys like Flip Murray, Pietrus, Jarret Jack, Dirk. That's respectable.

Moon shot the ball pretty well as a Raptor. But there were always better shooters on the floor with him. That makes the shots 'bad' and is in fact why he is left open to begin with.
Biting on pump fakes DOES hurt the team because that means other guys have to constantly help out on Moon's man and our D rotations were not exactly solid behind him. That can cause fouls to accumulate on your better players like Bargs, Bosh, JO at the time. How many jump shots on the perimeter did Moon block? Not many. Compared to how many pump fakes he bit on and let his man waltz into the lane? Tons.
It was the guys contract year and you could not get him to rebound or attack the paint. He could have made a lifetime worth of money this summer just by sticking to good solid defense, rebounding, and finishing with some power in traffic. Instead he was soft, lacked passion and intensity, and wasted the chance of a lifetime with so many starting opportunities. Just dumb.

What Jamario Moon were you watching? The guy rarely attacked the rim in his first year. It got worse in his second year. Where he fell off was defensively and on the glass. He became complacent, fast. But this talk of him being some sort of slasher in his rookie season is pretty off-base (and borderline delusional).

Never said he was a slasher. In his 1st season Moon had some monster and highlight dunks. Most of the time it was an open lane to the basket, but he did get to the rim. There were numerous highlight of the night dunks and alley oops made by him in his 1st season so I don't think I'm delussional in that analysis. His invite to the dunk contest can atest to the fact he did kill the rim on more than one occasion. Here is proof that I aint delusional as alll these killer dunks were from his rookie season:

Last season I can't recall one crazy dunk or highlight made by him. I can't even recall him killing any dunks period, so there was a definite regression from 1 year to the next.
