Summary:
Justin Moore is a strong, physical combo guard that helped lead Villanova to get to the 2022 NCAA Tournament. He excels at scoring out of the post, and he also can score the basketball in a variety of ways. He also will play tough, pesky defense, but he doesn’t possess ideal size or elite athleticism for his position. Still, he is a crafty, versatile player that has excelled in his role at Villanova, and he made a valiant comeback to return this season after missing considerable time due to a leg injury. Currently, he projects to be a borderline second round candidate for the 2024 draft.
