has come out the gates strong for the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA D-League affiliate, the Canton Charge. With averages of 10.7 points, 8.0 rebounds (team-high), 1.7 assists, 2.7 steals (team-high) and 1.7 blocks (2nd highest average on the Charge) per game he’s filling up the box as he shows off his tremendous playmaking potential. That’s despite him averaging only averaging 24.9 minutes per game (tied for the 7th highest average on the Charge).
Per 36 minutes, Moreland is averaging 15.5 points (63.6 percent shooting from the field), 11.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 3.9 steals and 2.5 blocks per game. Taken individually, those aren’t gaudy numbers but in the context of a player who hasn’t played in exhibition in eight months and is learning to play in the Cleveland Cavaliers system while with the Charge, Moreland is showing potential to be a productive role player for the Cavs if he should receive a call-up.
