Moyer still has months to make strides.  If he were on the SU campus right now, he'd be a 4 IMO.  He doesn't have a back to the basket game.  He has a decent jumper, but as RF said, his form is definitely funky.  Think unorthodox like Scoop Jardine. He's capable of knocking down jumpers but he's much better finishing in the open floor. He seems to be a decent ft shooter.  He clearly needs to hit the weight room to be able to bang in the ACC but he knows that and is working on that already.  I'd say Moyer has a similar frame as Lydon but maybe a little more filled out.

One concern I have is he's not especially quick, so the game might be a little fast for him early on.  Still, he's playing in the NEPSAC and that will help him.  He wants to challenge himself to improve.  I think he can help us right away but he doesn't have the handle yet or the jumper to play the 3 right out of the gate.   I think he will be fine in the zone with the slides.  His numbers indicate he can rebound.  To me, I think he'd get some floor time at the expense of Roberson. Thompson could backup Chukwu at the 5 and also play some 4 maybe.     Thompson wants minutes too.  I'm not sure DC will be back but if so, there will be a lot bigs for sure.

I think Lydon can play some 3 next year.   He's shown the ability to pump fake and drive , shoot the 3 and pass.    Malachi hopefully will be here and play minutes at the 2/3.   If Malachi leaves, we will be very thin at the SF slot.
