Moses Brown was 7th in offensive rebounding % last season in the whole NCAA (15.6%). As a freshman. Playing for the media center's favorite media college team, UCLA.

So scouts knew all about him, but were disappointed by his stats decreasing each month. Was that a pattern in high school? We'll see this season in the G-League.

Hmm. He played one game under 30 seconds, which reduced his points-per-game stat into single figures. It was 9.7 ppg = 311 points / 32 games. If the coach hadn't put him in, it would have been 10.0 ppg = 311 / 31. I have discovered why he wasn't drafted. Scouts' lists must have a 10.0 ppg cutoff. I'll check my theory: Zach Collins was a college substitute. If he got under 10 ppg, it disproves my theory.

Exactly 10.0 ppg! My theory is proven!

Other pearls of wisdom:

Don't overlook our center shortage in motivating his signing by Olshey, who last season declined to sign any two-way players at all.

Moses' poultry-style body is Vonleh-sized at his duck-like hips, but above his waist, as narrow as a chicken neck. Which gives him both dexterity in the reach, yet a concrete base. This is how comic book cartoonists should draw Plastic Man. Nimble and sneaky at offensive rebounds, pliant and plodding at defensive rebounds. His natural position may be Small Forward.

Look who it is!
 
So last time Moses played, he was a -8 in 0 minutes. Tonight, he was a -12 in 2 minutes.

He’s not ready.

Btw, Hoard is great. He always looks like he belongs out there.

How many times must I tell you? The Blazers are not interested in improving this team until after the season is over!

I think it’s a fair argument that (team performance nonwithstanding) a buyout big would make it easier to evaluate guys like Reddish and Thybulle with some size behind/next to them. Is that guy ‘Moses Brown?’ Maybe not. The Blazers get cooked when tweeners like Bari and Watford have to match up against bigs when Nurkic is out.
 
Grant, Winslow and Nurk will be back after the break more than likely. Winslow is our best small ball center defensively

And Badji is even longer....The coaches should know who is a better option long term by now........Moses or Ibou. Which one has the quickest feet to defend the pick-roll?

Badji is a two way. You can't get rid of him to sign Moses on a two way because Moses has already played four seasons.

Though this is his fourth year still and he hasn't had 2 two way contracts with Portland.
 
Badji has that one skill we still lack.

Unfortunately he suffered a knee injury about 6 minutes after signing with us.

I'd love to see what he has.

I'd take Moses over some of the other choices
