LAS VEGAS – By his own admission, Taze Moore said he used to be “a hothead.” As a football player in high school, he said his nickname was the Tasmanian Devil.
But all of the shenanigans and Tom foolery Moore experienced, he said he left that behind him when he transferred from Bakersfield College to the University of Houston and played basketball last season under Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson.
“Just me being from Bakersfield — the school that I went and played at for four or five years — I didn’t have the best attitude, and I didn’t have the best mindset,” Moore told Mavs.
