E’Twaun Moore

The Purdue alumni seems to be hitting a slum as of late, but hopefully, a new energy on a new team could turn things around for him.

This past season, he only started five out of 51 games as the Pelicans grew into a true contender, bringing in former Duke protege JJ Redick. In addition to that, he only averaged 18.8 minutes a game.

In a cause-and-effect pattern, Moore’s game has followed suit and his decreased minutes has led to decreased quality. Moore’s shooting percentage has dropped almost a whole six percent, and he has gone from scoring 12 points a game to 8.6.

The Indiana native may just need some time away from the bayou in order to clean up his game, and just maybe the Golden State Warriors should be the one to present him that opportunity. Assuming he’d take a minimum or mid-level exception, there’s a chance they’d bring him in.

The Warriors value shooting. Moore is a shooter. It’s a march made in heavy if the team thinks he can get back to his former self.
