Omari Moore has been a very intriguing player to look at because I believe he has flown under the radar as a hidden gem. He’s been a starter for the past few years at San Jose State and with every year he has added new dimensions to his game. He started off his freshmen year as a wing that primarily was largely viewed as a perimeter defender that couldn't shoot and wasn’t very productive but when you look at how he’s played his senior year, he’s a completely different player. He has become the lead ball handler that plays like a large point guard at 6’6'' that can do basically everything on the court. He has athleticism that certainly pops out against what some may say is weaker competition. He hasn’t displayed any fear by exploding out over his opponents whenever he pleases. He weaves around defenders to get to the rim with very little trouble. He did have a lower field goal and two-point percentage but this is due to the constant double teams and defensive attention that comes from being the best player on a team. Having that combination of height and shiftiness is extremely unique, he has the burst of an NBA guard laterally and vertically. In the league, he will have the tools to be an effective slasher and I can see this part of his game becoming something he can use as a part of his scale down to an off-ball role. His combination of size and playmaking is what really makes him special. He acted as a large distributor that initiated basically all of San Jose’s offense through his ability to grab the defense and move the ball to where he needed it to go. He’s always darting around the floor looking for a new angle in which his team can get a basket. He makes great reads and cross-court passes to find the open teammate and locate cutters. He knows when to dump the ball off to big men in the post whether that’s from the perimeters or another spot in the paint. He will most likely transition back to a more off-ball wing role in the NBA but I see his passing skills translating into connective ability. He’s always eager to attack the other team and the way he’s handled all of this responsibility leaves me confident that he will be a guy that puts in the effort to impact offensively. His shooting and overall touch from range have been highly inconsistent and questionable. He shot in the low thirties his senior year which is probably an accurate representation of how he will shoot in the NBA but he shot in the low twenties his first two seasons before jumping up to forty-three percent as a junior. His free throw shooting has also been hard to trust, he shot very inconsistently from year to year including a sophomore season where he made under half of his attempts from behind the line. Getting calls and drawing fouls has always been a problem for him which is weird considering that he was a primary option. He has shown a lot of defensive capability in a more focused role in the past and he has all the physical tools to thrive. Earlier in his college career, he acted as a defense specialist due to having a more underdeveloped offense game at the time, when he is put in a place in the league where he bears less responsibility and less of a workload, I expect him to return to form. He has all the traits to be an impact player on both ends of the floor but has had some inconsistencies that have come up against weaker competition which is definitely something to worry about.

Lengthy build for a forward Versatile, solid handler Like how he keep his hand up on defense, always available to contest Worked as a primary ball-handler in San Jose’ State, can be a point forward Solid playmaker, has tremendous vision for open men Interesting, discoordinated shot Truly ran a broken offense, made things happen Quick burst, finds himself with comfortable lanes to drive often - gets to his spots Needle threader when passing, makes so many terrific finds Have trouble finding him a role in the NBA, role like his won't be available at the next level Length allows for ground coverage on defense Tough to understand his movement patterns, so unpredictable - a good thing Needs to add muscle, a bit skinny and frail currently Love his long strides, helping him get to the basket Changes pace, confuses defense. Masterclass. Finishes and stays patient through contact Drives defense, kicks out to open man, plays chess with defense Infinite energy on defense Off-centered feet on shot, concerning Just seems really small on the court, doesn’t size well with other forwards, even tall guards (Boy amongst men) Handle can be a bit loose Has some impressive pick-pockets Feet can be in concrete at times, doesn’t stay on the balls of his feet Decisions get predictable over time, you know he’s going to pass or drive Seems uncomfortable outside the 3pt line Doesn’t have the athletic tools for acrobatic plays Don’t like how he responds to pressure, loses the ball, can’t penetrate Older prospect, senior
