E’Twaun Moore

24.9 MPG | 9.6 PPG | 2.2 APG | 2.1 RPG

E’Twaun Moore provided the Pelicans their most consistent bench play this season. He scored at just under 10 points per game while shooting 45.7 percent from the field.

On a team that didn’t prioritize the three-ball, Moore created additional value by being one of the team’s better outside shooters with a 37 percent average from three.

But it was his versatility this season that the Pelicans valued the most. Whether coming off the bench or starting (22 on the season), guarding multiple perimeter positions or playing the 1 or 2, Moore was a valuable asset for the Pelicans this year.

Primarily a 2-guard, Moore, created offense for himself and made plays for others. However, he wasn’t always as aggressive on both ends of the court as he needed to be this season and it is something he’ll need to address next season.
