I’m basically only doing this video because nineteen is a season-high at this point for E’Twaun Moore, and he made eight shots which is also a season-high. Normally I would wait until he scored twenty, but I want to make sure that Moore gets at least one video on my channel this season. There is no guarantee that I make videos commemorating any future nineteen-point games that he has.
I say all that because I don’t want to inadvertently set the bar too low for myself and all of a sudden become obligated to do all kinds of mediocre, underwhelming videos of mediocre, underwhelming players scoring mediocre, underwhelming amounts of points. This is a one-time exception for Moore. This is not the new standard. I repeat: this is not the new standard. If this was the new standard, I’d be making thirty videos a day showcasing all manner of scrubs.
There’s no guarantee that Moore outperforms this particular performance given that his MPG per game are the lowest they’ve been since he was in Chicago. His role right now is strictly to be a scorer off the bench, but not like a Lou Williams type of scorer. More like a Tony Snell type of scorer. He’s actually shooting the same amount of shots per game as he was when he was getting more minutes, so he’s trending a bit more towards being a high-volume guy, but his percentages are suffering so he should probably go back to being the low-volume guy that he has been for his entire stint with the Pelicans.
Actually, forget my advice. This is a contract year for Moore and he’s probably only got one big contract left in his career. Chuck away my man! Get dem checks!
