Moses Moody turned in a strong performance in the NBA’s Summer League this season.
The former Arkansas star poured in an average of 27.5 points per game in a season punctuated by a 34-point performance against the New York Knicks.
Moody was drafted by the Golden State Warriors at No. 14 in last year’s NBA Draft, and at the time the 6-foot-6 and 205-pounder was was noted for his 7 foot wing span. Moody joined Kawhi Leonard as the only other NBA champion to average 25 points in the Summer League.
An All-SEC player as a freshman 2 years ago, Moody averaged 16.8 points to lead the Razorbacks and shot 42.7 percent from the field, 35.6 percent on 3-pointers and 81.2 percent on free throws (151 of 186).
Former Hog Moses Moody was the NBA 2K23 Summer League leading scorer with 27.5 points per game. His 34-point performance against the Knicks on July 9 was the most points scored in a single game of any summer league player. Impressive.
