Second Round

I want to talk about Minyon Moore, specifically her offense. The dismissal of Moore tends to accept as a given that she’s a plus-plus defender, and she is — by the way, look around WNBA rosters and tell me how many plus-plus perimeter defenders there are! This is an area of scarcity.

But offensively, Moore is NOT some lost cause. She was better than 50% from the field inside the arc this year, and even 31 percent from three, with a free throw percentage that suggests she can get even better from deep. She’s a strong distributor, and she just doesn’t turn the ball over. The idea that Minyon Moore isn’t going to help someone with solid minutes in the rotation as a second unit point guard right away doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Moore’s game translates.
