The Wendell Moore Duke basketball needs more of next season

There is one way that Wendell Moore firmly ensconces himself in Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski's starting five this fall. Maintaining a double-digit scoring average while contributing on the glass would more than likely be enough to stay on the 73-year-old Hall of Famer's good side.

Moore, a 6-foot-6, 213-pound shooting forward from Charlotte, N.C., was a solid contributor for the Blue Devils last season until mid-February. His productivity after his game-winner against North Carolina in Chapel Hill on Feb. 8, however, shows a significant decline.
