Fran Fraschilla - Nic Moore one of nations best pure shooter

Nic Moore, Southern Methodist Mustangs
Moore, a 5-foot-9 Illinois State transfer, began his SMU career in 2013-14 by gaining the ultimate respect from American Athletic Conference coaches. He made the all-league team, joining All-Americans Shabazz Napier, Russ Smith and Sean Kilpatrick. Moore averaged 13.6 points a game as a point guard, shot 43.6 percent behind the 3-point line and made 82.5 percent of his free throws for good measure.
This season, Moore will share ballhandling duties for the Mustangs with incoming McDonald's All American Emmanuel Mudiay. It's the perfect scenario for coach Larry Brown because his team will be impossible to press and Moore can concentrate even more of his time shooting the deep ball and scoring. When you see SMU ranked high in the preseason rankings, in part it is because of the smallest guy on the floor most nights -- Moore.
