2023 Fantasy Outlook
Moore barely saw the floor during his rookie season, playing just 5.3 minutes per night across a total of 29 games. He averaged 1.4 points and 0.5 combined steals and blocks. Although his role is likely to increase this season, chances are he sees fewer than 10 minutes per night, taking to the court on only a handful of occasions. He is not worth drafting anywhere at this point.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Stagnating in G League
GMinnesota Timberwolves
December 12, 2023
Moore is averaging 14.6 points in 37.6 minutes per game despite shooting just 32.8 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from beyond the arc through eight games.
ANALYSIS Moore has been a streaky shooter, but lackluster performance at the rim is a major detriment as well. The second-year guard is shooting just 44.7 percent at the basket while getting there on 30.4 percent of his shots -- which ranks in the 23rd percentile among all qualifiers. Moore is still a capable floor general, but his offensive struggles have resulted in Iowa turning to a platoon of D.J. Carton and Trevor Keels to pick up additional ballhandling duties.
