Moore’s Draft Stock Rising

The Boiling Point: ESPN’s Chad Ford is reporting scouts are starting to change their opinion of E’Twaun Moore.


E’Twaun Moore scored 38 points against the No. 2 team in the nation Sunday. Not surprisingly, his draft stock is reportedly going up a little, according to ESPN’s Chad Ford (Insider).

"“Moore may not look much like an NBA prospect at first glance. He’s an undersized combo guard without the athleticism or quickness that NBA scouts covet. But his performance for Purdue this season has forced scouts to take a second look. His perimeter shooting, his toughness on both ends of the floor and his ability to swing over and play some point guard have them rethinking his draft potential. “"

"“Moore is coming off the best game of his career Sunday — a 38-point outing against Ohio State in which he was 7-for-10 from beyond the arc. Moore has had a number of other big games in the Big Ten. When his shot is falling, he’s very difficult to stop. His ceiling is somewhat limited according to scouts and, most likely, he’s a second-round pick. But with scouts whiffing on guys like Wesley Matthews and Gary Neal in the past, they are keeping a closer on eye on prospects like Moore.”"

E’Twaun is rated No. 60 out of the Top 100.
