Moore is AWFUL

he moves around like he has weighted shoes.

shooting fell off towards the end of the season.

doesnt penetrate, Forced Jameer into 36 mpg at age 31.

no to Moore.


You surely must not be watching the same team I was watching. Moore is young, drove to the basket many times with that nice floater he made quite often and shot very well at times from the (3). He played better defense than Meer and at no point did I see Meer playing 36mpg for extended periods of time. Plus, Moore is a minimum player in his 3rd year I think in the league. I would rather develop a player like Moore than waste it on a slower player with worse defense like Fredette.


It seems Orlwillbeback has some pretty high standards. LOL

Maurice Harkless' new listing as 6 feet 9 appears legit. He's definitely gotten taller since the start of last season.


Almost forgot about his open growth plates... 8-)

The organization is either blowing smoke out there ass or we are about to get a good look at Lamb. They seem pretty high on the guy. People have wondered allowed if he could be one of the leagues best 3 point shooters. This I will have to see for myself. If he can shoot in that category he will see some minutes. This season will be more about point guard by committee. Rob has stated he thinks the league is moving toward more of hybrid type guard play.

Good eye Blue_and_Whte, Moore is a good backup PG. Don't forget folks, he's like 24.

So Harkless is 6-9" and can now bench 275 3x, was 6-8" and couldn't do 225 last year.

Harris has gone from 223 to 240 apparently.

Isn't Darko Serbian? Also, if we're talking war, I think Hedo is in the Turkish army (please correct me if I'm wrong) or something, so he has military experience.


Serbian = ex-yugoslavian


It's been almost 20yrs since the war and it seems we can't shake that stereotype. Don't know about the war, as Darko has yet to serve in army, though he publicly said to have plans to do. Anyway, serving in army in times of peace and in war is quite different.

Depending on a fight and opponent, I might choose Wallace (calm) or Darko (thug, but gets the attention) as a wingman. Hell, if he could be enlisted as an option, Captain Jack would do some damage for sure. :)


Didn't mean to stereotype, that's why I used the word "some" ... Also the brawls in Serbian and Croatian leagues don't help shaking it.

If this is true then the Magic see him as the long term option at the 4.

"Aaron Gordon will cost Henny's job by Dec 2016." Predicted Dec 2014.

"O'Quinn will have a longer and more successful NBA career than Nicholson." Predicted Jun 2012. Verified on Dec 2014.
