As a 15 or 16 year old at the Dome with seasons tickets, watching the first few games of that season, I had the same exact experience. All the fan were like, man, we lost Billy Owens and the core of our legendary  golden age teams. Who do we turn to now? We knew David Johnson was gonna step up. But man, it was pretty thin after him. We were all thinking that we might not be very good. As you said, Anthony Harris was the heralded freshman, and the fans waited with bated breath to see what he was gonna do (not much, it turns out). But from the first game, it was the unheralded and unhyped Moten who made his mark. I remember thinking, can this continue? Or is this just a fluke? But he kept going, a steady scorer night after night. Before long, the fans were dubbing him Poetry in Moten and some even had a sign made in the 300-level.

I’m sure his obituary will mention this. But he used to tell a story about calling his mom from the Dome when he got the nod to start his first game.
