I really, really hope you are right, but I'm very skeptical. I don't trust any high school BB camp's height measurements except for USA BB. Remember, both the high school coaches and the camps have a vested interest in overstating players' heights for recruiting purposes. Remember when Michael Beasley was listed as 6'10 in high school and Dwight Howard was 7'0 in high school too, lol.

I also don't see evidence of a handle. He can get dribble enough to get around his man in HS, but I don't see an actual "handle". You should watch videos of the aforementioned Howard leading the fast break in high school. He's pretty effective. But that doesn't cut it in the NBA, and might not in college either.

As far as a rich man's Tobias Harris. Well... Harris just signed a contract that was only a hair less than the max. If Moyer does better than that he'd either be the 2nd or 3rd best Syracuse NBA player ever. So... I hope you are right, but I'm skeptical.

Again, I'm not saying Moyer's gonna be a bust. I think that being a poor man's Warrick or rich man's Harris would mean that Moyer had a very useful and satisfying Syracuse career. And I don't know how Moyer's intangibles are, except that clearly he plays with a great deal of passion. If those are exceptional, than Moyer could be a great player sooner rather than later. Highlight tapes might not have shown Ennis or Aaron Craft as likely to be successful early in their career, but clearly they both were tremendously so.
