Re: Chadd Moore starting at PG tonight

[Jonathan Breiner]

I am surprised to find this has not generated much discussion.  I am very
intrigued by tonight's game.  Moore getting (perhaps) some significant
playing time will be fun to watch.

2 things I will look for:

1. How well he protects the ball against the Mocs press!

2. How well he pushes the ball up the floor while limiting turnovers.

I have no doubts he is a bit better player offensively, I do not expect him
to be anywhere near as good as Taron defensively this year, so the 2 other
items above are areas he can really compliment Taron.  While Taron is not
the best at pushing it up the floor, he can beat a press and does not turn
the ball over much!  I hope it is Moore's time to shine, it could really add
a new dimension to this team offensively.

Finally, I also think it shows how Huggins gets into the player's psyche a
bit.  Moore was not ready to play early on so Huggins made him earn his
"playing stripes" in practice while learning the offense and defensive sets
better.  I am not sure how ready or not Moore is, but we know he will not be
down on himself for earlier poor performances (since he had no performances)
and should be fired up after 3 days of practice with the first unit to show
his stuff.
