The offseason transformation of Wendell Moore’s body boosted his play for Duke last season, which has now landed him in the NBA.
Moore, a second-team, all-ACC selection on the Blue Devils’ league regular-season championship team, was selected 26th overall by the Dallas Mavericks in Thursday night’s NBA draft.
A 6-6 forward, Moore averaged 13.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and led the Blue Devils with 4.4 assists as they reached the Final Four for the first time since 2015. He made 50% of his shots, including 41.3% of his 3-pointers and a team-best 80.5% free throw accuracy.
