Hope he gets healthy soon. He doesn't really address our defensive issues, as he's known as a bad defender, but the shooting and rebounding will be helpful.

I believe he is a better defender than his reputation but just an average rebounder at this time.

Actually looked like a plus defender in the SPL. I was surprised by his speed and lateral quickness.

Moe has those quick hands. I bet he's a real pest fronting guys and poking the ball away now and again even if he gets beaten up in the post as a skinnier rookie.

It seems to me though like he's made out of glass. My God he should have recovered already It's been like 3 months since the SPL injury.

Well...it might be his injury or it might be that it is something far worse than just a knee contusion. Remember, our medical staff doesn't have the best track record IE, Lonzo's 'knee contusion' form last year and BI's groin injury

We wanted the next Kevin Durant, the next Jason Kidd but in reality our great hope is the next Dirk Nowitzki .

... but seriously, I hope he can be good enough to get backup center minutes. If he's capable of not being a defensive liability for 10-12 minutes a game as a center, he's pretty much guaranteed minutes simply because we have no one else.

Moe about to be back on the court and get that Backup C spot

As long as he's getting stronger, that's fine.

It would be great to learn his real injury. You don’t wear a massive knee brace for a knee contusion.

^ Finally. Yes!

Three things from the video:
1. Elite defense, he shutdown the offensive player
2. I like his shot. Wish he held his follow through instead of moving his body right after.
3. BI's stroke is looking nice.

Have we gotten a straight answer on what his injury is/was? Are we supposed to believe he's been out for 3 months with a knee bruise?

Most impressive things about this video...BI and Lance's shooting.

We need this kid to get all the way healthy and show out once he's back because he's our only viable option for back up 5.

We tend to treat our boys like snow flakes. No rush is the motto.

Yes do a quick search on knee contusion. Depends on severity.
