Message: [QUOTE="Owens guy, post: 5519910, member: 5156"] Moten was a player that was never one of my favorites - he wasn't flashy, he didn't have highlight dunks and didn't often show emotion on the court. But Moten was one the most classy, important and underrated players in Syracuse history. Moten was so smooth and effective when scoring. It was like he didn't decide what move he was going to make to score until seeing how his defender was playing him. I remember countless outside jumpers that Moten would take when Syracuse most needed a basket. It seemed like every Moten shot would hit the front of the rim, bounce off the backboard then slowly roll on the rim into the basket. You could count on 15 to 25 points from Moten EVERY game and he never dominated the ball or forced shots. RIP Poetry. You will never be forgotten. [/QUOTE]
