Career highlights and awards

High school career edit

Moore attended College Park High School in Pleasant Hill, California. As a senior at College Park in 2010–11, he averaged 18 points, six rebounds and 11 assists en route to being tabbed MVP of the Diablo Valley Athletic League. He led College Park to a 22–3 record and earned MVP honors at three tournaments, including the Jim Stephenson Invitational. Prior to his senior year, he gave an oral commitment to Saint Mary's but never signed a letter of intent.[1]

College career edit

Due to a sub-par academic record, Moore was unable to sign with a Division I program coming out of high school.[2] He instead enrolled at City College of San Francisco for the 2011–12 season and played for the Rams as a freshman.[3][4]

Moore enrolled at UTEP for the spring 2012 semester[5] and joined the Miners men's basketball team in December 2012 for the rest of the 2012–13 season.[1] He appeared in 25 games with 15 starts as a sophomore, averaging 8.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 24.4 minutes per game. He rated among the Conference USA leaders in blocked shots and steals, finishing 13th in both categories. On January 30, 2013, he scored a season-high 18 points against UAB.[6] He was named to the 2013 Conference USA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll (minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average) and was named a Conference USA Men's Basketball All-Academic Team honoree.[1]

After a promising sophomore season for the Miners, Moore ran into controversy as a junior in 2013–14. He missed the team's fifth game of the season on November 23 with a concussion,[7] and the team's tenth game of the season on December 16 due to suspension.[8] His December 16 suspension was imposed by head coach Tim Floyd after Moore sat near the end of the team bench after being subbed off against Sacramento State on December 7, and refusing to head to the locker room upon being told to do so by Floyd.[9] He played three further games for UTEP before he and teammate Jalen Ragland were suspended from the team indefinitely starting with the December 28 game against Western Illinois.[10] He was later dismissed from the program on January 7, along with Ragland and Justin Crosgile, for gambling on sporting events.[11][12][13][14] He appeared in just 11 games for UTEP in 2013–14 and made nine starts, averaging a team-high 13.1 points, as well as 4.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 27.3 minutes per game.[15]

Professional career edit

Nelson Giants (2015) edit

In January 2015, Moore signed with the Nelson Giants for the 2015 New Zealand NBL season.[16][17][18] He had three 30-point games during the season[19] and earned three Player of the Week awards,[20] with his third one coming after scoring 35 points against the Taranaki Mountainairs on June 6.[21] He helped the Giants finish the regular season in second place with a 13–5 record before losing 97–85 to the Wellington Saints in the semi-finals, with Moore scoring nine points on 2-of-11 shooting.[22][19] In the semi-final loss, Moore fractured the sesamoid bone in his foot, but chose not to have an MRI scan.[23] He appeared in all 19 games for the Giants in 2015, averaging 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.7 blocks per game.[19] He subsequently earned NBL All-Star Five honors.[24]

Upon the conclusion of the Nelson Giants' season on July 4, Moore returned to the United States and joined the Milwaukee Bucks for the 2015 Las Vegas Summer League.[25][26] He appeared in three of the Bucks' six summer league games, recording his best game of the tournament on July 16 with two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 11 minutes against the Phoenix Suns.[27]

After attending NBA mini-camps held by the Brooklyn Nets and the Dallas Mavericks,[45] Moore accepted an offer by the Mavericks to join their summer league team for the 2016 NBA Summer League.[46][47] In six games for the Mavericks, he averaged 6.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists in 18.0 minutes per game.[48]
