One of the best surprises of this past New Orleans Pelicans season is E’Twaun Moore.
The Pelicans went into the summer of 2016 with one desperate and definitively clear need:
Wing Depth
The Pelicans signed E’Twaun Moore to a four year $34 million dollar deal. They clearly wanted a defender who could shoot from deep and space the floor for Anthony Davis.
They got a whole lot more than that.
The Pelicans obtained a favorable contract with a player who averages double digits in points with minimal touches, three point shooting (37 percent from deep)), offers great defense, superb footwork, and a bevy of offensive tools and moves that he uses to penetrate and collapse a defense.
