"I think the pedigree of Villanova alums developing into good, solid NBA role players is probably the best thing that he has going for his right now," Field of 68 Media Network founder Rob Dauster said in an email.

Moore has battled some injuries this season and missed the Feb. 5 game against Connecticut with a bad ankle. Since then, he has averaged 16.4 points per game. In 83 career games, including 68 starts, he has averaged 13.1.

"The way that Jay Wright wants to play is really similar to that of NBA teams," Dauster said. "They switch into mismatches defensively, they don’t run a ton of set plays and, instead, their offense is very much built on ball-screens and creating/attacking closeouts. Moore, as you might expect, is really good at these things. Smart player, good decision-maker, high-level shooter off the catch and off the bounce."

Moore has a scorer's mentality and is effective at the rim and in the mid-range. His 3-point shot has been a bit off in recent games but that hasn't stopped him from letting it fly.
