Because he's a pretty skinny guy, I'm sure he would go flying if someone gave him a hard foul in midair... Maybe he remembers that hard foul by Swift earlier this year....
He got clobbered at least one more time early in the season.

Moon's handle is quite bad, that's why we don't see him drive. Just because he's athletic doesn't mean he's a slasher. He needs to improve alot here. More off the ball movement would help.
Also on his drive, Moon's got small step syndrome. When I used to play soccer my coach pointed this out and it helped alot (though, it's a different sport, lol). Whenever Moon drives, he takes tiny step, he's got to take long strides. It makes his drive really slow too. I've noticed this when he rarely drives.
Frankly, Moon doesn't have the skills to be a slasher from the perimeter that so many people want.

Stop settling for jumpers.
You took the words out of my mouth.
He needs to stop taking so many jumpshots and go to the hole, there's a reason why you get so many open jumpers Jamario.

LOL. This is a joke right?
Out of any player who is seen as a "dunker" moon has to be the most overrated. He's not even a poor mans Carter when VC was dunking everything back in the days. This man misses so any dunk attempts it's sad. I honestly don't know why he got invited. I'd rather see Ricky Davis. No lie.
The only nasty dunk he could have had was against the bulls. Why he didn't dunk that I don't know.

Stop hating on Moon, he's a nice dunker and if you got a problem with people overrating him, why don't you start a thread against the WHOLE Raptor board instead of taking a jab at me???
Ricky Davis??? wut?
