When the news broke that the New Orleans Pelicans had signed E’Twaun Moore, I wasn’t immediately blown away. I liked the move, but thought the team probably had more glaring holes to fill. Still, in the small moments I had remembered seeing Moore play, I knew he was a solid role player, who was heady, played with effort, and still pretty young. He filled needs: improving the perimeter defense, had a good handle and above average playmaking ability, and was coming off of a year where he shot 45% from deep.
In Moore’s round table grade, I mistakenly gave the signing a B- in haste.
