Marquise Moore

[Quentin Daniels]

Not too shabby for a 2 star afterthought recruit only picked up because Hofstra fired their Coach and Mason was desperate to add guards.

Pretty safe to say he's exceeded fan expectations by a long stretch.

One of the few things Hewitt actually got right, and then it was just dumb luck.

If we are giving credit where it is due, Hewitt had a pretty good eye for talent. Unfortunately for us, he had no idea how to use the talent or develop the talent.

I wonder if Erik Copes would have lived up to his hype under any respected coach.

100% agree, if you follow recruiting at all, many of Hewitt's potential recruits were all offered ahead of anyone else and of course some of them weren't great either as with anything. He certainly had an eye for talent, but yeah, his other acumen was poop.

Anyway lets not talk about the virus, lets all acknowledge Marquise Moore that for a 6'2 guard who has a funky shot, hes developed into a powerhouse scorer, rebounder, and passer. For that, I'm thankful.

"Coach told me to guard #22, but didn't say on which team..."
(Apologies to Marko who was one of the smarter players we've had in recent memory.)

Seth Davis carved out some real estate in his weekly twitterbag to answer my question about Marquise. Pretty cool:

"When does Marquise Moore (George Mason) start getting the national recognition he deserves? — Petey Buckets (@peteybuckets)


When I start writing about him!

I’ve been doing this with each Twitterbag this season, so I will again thank one of my followers for pointing me in the right direction so I can help unearth a hidden gem. This one was fun because I really love late bloomers. Moore is a 6’ 2" senior guard who has taken a major step this season, increasing his scoring to 17.9 ppg (from 11.4 as a junior), 10.6 rebounds (from 6.1), 3.6 assists (from 3.1) and making 51.7% from the floor (from 39.8)%. Moore has only regressed in two areas: three-point shooting and turnovers. On threes, he was 1 for 16 last season and is 0 for 5 this year. And his turnover average is up from 2.1 as a junior to 2.6 this year.

Thanks to the magic of Synergy, I checked out some video of Moore in action. Here’s my scouting report:

I like that he knows who he is . . . For a guy who can’t make threes, he does a great job driving . . . Maybe worst shooting form I’ve seen in a while. Pushes it off his chin. Weird, snap-back follow-through. Shot is completely broken . . . Yet pretty good in the mid-range. Makes long twos. The analytics guys would hate him . . . Has wide, strong shoulders and knows how to use them to finish in traffic . . . Terrific at feeding the post, and not just from the usual spots . . . Tries to force the issue sometimes, which explains the poor assist-to-turnover ratio for a PG . . . Terrific rebounder for his size. Does it with size and leverage, but mostly pursuit. Like I said: He knows who he is."

While his numbers are up this season (particularly scoring average and rebounds), I'm not sure that it's fair to call Marquise a "late bloomer". There was a stretch during conference play last season when Marquise was playing as well as the best guards in the A10. He's always had a great work ethic. But, IMO, the issue with Marquise has been nagging injuries which evidently has not been a problem during this season.

How is he not a captain?

best players don't always mean good captains lol. I am not sure why this is such a hard concept to grasp and why people keep bringing it up. Some people just aren't captains....
