In the big picture, if things go as planned, Moses Moody’s last two games of the 2021 NCAA Tournament will go down as a mere smudge on the much larger, beautifully-woven tapestry that will be his overall basketball career.
In his only season at Arkansas, Moody won SEC Freshman of the Year and averaged 16.8 points a game, finishing ahead of Joe Johnson and Todd Day in the records book for most points averaged by a Razorback freshman. He also finished behind only Sidney Moncrief in rebounds per game by an Arkansas freshman guard.
Looking ahead, Moody projects to spend at least a dozen years in the NBA as the kind of prototypical “3-and-D” wing player who could do for future NBA champions what Sean Elliott did for the San Antonio Spurs and James Posey did for the Boston Celtics.
