The other day, while working on our New Orleans Pelicans’ all-time 3-pointers made post, something interesting caught my eye. Despite only playing 6,900 minutes across four seasons, beloved role player E’Twaun Moore is currently eighth all-time in franchise history in 3-pointers made (344). And even more interesting, Moore was only 35 3-pointers behind franchise icon Chris Paul, who had played nearly 9,000 more minutes with the organization than Moore.
That all got me thinking about this tweet I had recently seen from my buddy Mark Schindler.
E'Twaun Moore was honestly pretty nice
Imagining a world where he shot 7+ threes per game for those two years where he started in NOLA

While it hasn’t been that long since his tenure with the Pelicans (2016-20), one must wonder what kind of player he is if he’s playing basketball in 2023 (it’s crazy to think, but the game has changed substantially over the last couple of years).
