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.

ANALYSIS Ivey's lower leg injury could keep him sidelined until March or even further, meaning the Pistons will have lots of time to experiment with new lineups and rotations. Moore got the start in the matchup against the Hornets on Jan. 3, and he could be an intriguing option to bolster the team's defensive quality in the backcourt. From that point of view, Moore could be a perfect partner for Cade Cunningham.
