Wendell Moore Jr.

Draft Notes

Wendell Moore Jr is a versatile all around player who gives great effort on both ends of the floor and impacts all aspects of the game. He doesn’t blow you away with one skill but he brings value as a defender, a passer and a transition scorer.

He has the makings of a lock-down defender with great versatility on that end of the court. He’s got a lot of size and length when pressuring the ball and he moves his feet really well when guarding in space.

Wendell isn’t yet a finished product on the offensive end but he excels in transition and at making cuts to the basket. His ball handling is improved and he projects as as a player who can run some point at the next level to go along with his 3&D skill set.
