aye man

dude is playing an extremely high level right now

i know nutopia hates all things twitter, but im really happy for him. He's overcome a lot since the trade that landed him here in NOLA.

I'm not saying he's an MVP candidate or anything, but he is locked in right now and im enjoying the show

brah, you got a sleeper for real.

I think last season was his career best, and he's on pace to break that this year

he is having a really good start to the season

once the roster settles back, expect him to at a minimum, keep a steady stream of production

He can play at an extremely high level and still be no where near the “most versatile and effective player”

Or you can stop using the word haircut as a catch all and know the difference between a cut and a style

1. The E'Twaun Moore-Anthony Davis floater game, and the 15 percenters

Moore might sport the league's silkiest floater, and Alvin Gentry makes it sing by pairing Moore and Davis in a two-man game with a very specific geographic alignment:

That is basically a high-speed wing pick-and-roll, with no other Pelican on the Moore-Davis side of the floor. Emptying that area creates a dilemma for defenses. Some help schemes would dictate a third defender slide in from that right wing to bump Davis. But no one is there.

Help duty should then fall to Serge Ibaka, guarding Julius Randle in the paint. But what if Nikola Mirotic is in for Randle, and spotting up 30 feet away?

Moore and Davis have counters for every counter. Have Moore's man skitter under that pick, so Davis's defender can stay home? Moore is ready.

A switch leaves two mismatches:
Overplay the lob, and Davis can fade to the corner. There are no good answers, and that is because the simplest answer -- let Moore shoot what is normally a low-value floater -- is a bad one, too. Moore has hit an insane 58 percent of "short midrange" shots -- i.e., floaters -- after canning 53 percent last season, among the very best marks in the league, per Cleaning The Glass.

The Moore-Davis dance has remarkably developed into a foundational block in New Orleans' half-court offense. They tortured Toronto with it until the Raptors assigned Kawhi Leonard to Moore so they could switch without slipping into fatal mismatches. If Leonard is on Moore, a lesser defender has to take Jrue Holiday. Another bad answer.

Moore has hit 49 percent from deep after finishing above 42 percent in two of the past three seasons. He can defend two and sometimes three positions. He is among many nondescript "pretty good" wings who get tagged as replaceable. You might be able to find something like 85 percent of Moore's production at a cheaper rate, though that is becoming less true as Moore improves and salaries rise.

Even so: That 15 percent is the difference between someone who can play in the playoffs, and someone who can't.

Hawks are unbelievably bad. 42 year old Vince Carter was the best player on the floor for them last night.
