RE: Chadd Moore starting at PG tonight

[MURPHY, T. JASON]

I think we will really miss Barker's defensive pressure. I think Moore is a calculated risk at PG tonight. While Barker won't turnover the ball against the press he won't push it fast enough to get easy baskets off it. Huggs may be willing to put up with a few more TO's in exchange for someone really pushing the ball and getting easy baskets. Also, we need to keep in mind that even if Moore flounders, Lucas is right there and he has had some quality minutes so far. Oh well this lineup change definitely gives this game some uncertainty and little more excitement.

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.
