14 - Jalon Moore





NBA Comparison: James Ennis
Strengths: Physically gifted 6’7” wing with a 6’10.25” wingspan and raw athleticism that was on full display at the 2025 NBA Draft Combine, where he posted a 39-inch max vertical … He turned in a productive senior season at Oklahoma, averaging 15.9 points and 5.8 rebounds on 47.1% shooting while connecting on 38.1% from three and 84% from the line … A powerful straight-line driver and explosive leaper who thrives around the rim — whether finishing in transition, off cuts, or with timely putback dunks … Uses his length and bounce to rebound effectively for his position and disrupt passing lanes on defense … Comfortable in spot-up situations from beyond the arc and has shown steady improvement as a shooter over the past two seasons … His high free throw percentage further underscores legitimate shooting touch … Moore plays with energy and assertiveness as a scorer, capable of creating his own shot in isolation with a quick first move and the ability to get downhill … Adept at using his left hand and drawing contact in the paint … Defensively, he has the tools to be versatile when engaged — with solid size, a strong frame (203 lbs), and enough vertical pop to contest shots or rotate as a help defender … Though not a creator, he has the confidence and physical tools to slide into a scoring role early at the next level.
Weaknesses: Despite being a great leaper, Moore lacks some subtle body control and fluidity, particularly in the open floor where his stride can look choppy … Now 22, he’s an older prospect without a well-rounded skill set — still struggling in key areas like decision-making, ball-handling under pressure, and facilitating for others … His assist-to-turnover ratio (0.6 to 1.6) reflects poor passing instincts and a limited ability to read the floor — often predetermining actions rather than reacting in flow … Offensively, he can be a bit one-dimensional — thriving as a finisher or spot-up shooter, but offering little in terms of secondary playmaking … His shooting mechanics, while effective, are somewhat deliberate and can take too long to get off, particularly under tight coverage … Doesn’t adjust well when attacking closeouts, often relying on straight-line drives without much shiftiness or change of pace … Defensive effort can come and go; he’s capable of more given his tools but tends to lose focus off the ball or provide inconsistent help … Needs refinement in several areas of offensive polish and defensive awareness to translate from a college scorer into a reliable NBA role player…. Moore hit 43 threes as a senior and showed improved efficiency, but his overall production suggests he’s not a natural scorer. He averaged just 2.8, 7.6, and 11.2 points per game in his first three college seasons, with a career three-point percentage of 35.0% and a 76.1% free throw mark. Despite the late scoring jump, his profile reflects steady development more than innate offensive instincts.
Outlook: Moore’s size, length, and vertical athleticism — combined with his improved shooting — make him a viable second-round target in the 2025 NBA Draft. While he’s not a high-ceiling prospect due to age and skill limitations, he brings a clearly defined role as an athletic wing who can space the floor, finish in transition, and contribute on the glass. His 38.1% three-point shooting and 84% free throw mark point to real development, and if his defensive consistency and offensive decision-making improve, he could carve out a role as a rotational wing. Viewed as a potential mid-to-late second-rounder after a solid showing at the NBA Draft Combine.
Notes: Measured 6′ 6.25” barefoot, 203.4 lbs, 6′ 10.25” wingspan, 8′ 8.50” standing reach with a 32.5 no step vertical and 39.0 maximum vertical at the 2025 NBA Draft Combine. … Born April 10, 2003 … Transferred to Oklahoma after two seasons at Georgia Tech.
