Nick as a Sleeper

2. Nic Moore, Point Guard, SMU

First of all, it’s important to note it’s not possible for any player coming out of college to have a better coach to get someone ready for the NBA game than Larry Brown. Period.

Next, I recognize that after being last season AAC’s conference player of the year as a junior, he may not be so much under the radar. But my biggest reason for having him on this list is his diminutive size, checking in at 5’9 and 175 pounds.

I recognize that many NBA people would rather not even take the chance or deal with a small guard, when they have to worry about the potential size and defensive disadvantages. I must also admit that I may be somewhat biased with my opinion here, as Brown has been a great friend and mentor to me.

When I look around the NBA and I see guys like Shane Larkin, Trey Burke, Aaron Brooks, D.J. Augustin, J.J. Barea and others, I’ve always felt like there’s a place for a guy like Moore to come in and be a tempo changer and a solid rotation player in the league. I would not bet against this guy at coming in and succeeding in the NBA. He has all the intangibles.
