Larry Brown called him a Derrick McKey type: defensive minded, great teammate, hard worker.
Gotta get that shot fixed. McKey carved out a 15 year career. Probably no coincidence he ended up with the Spurs.
Summer league will be interesting....
Hope he's on the summer league roster. He'll have to show off there to have a chance

I’m not sure how you can even say that. He’s had one cup of coffee with Indy, and shown out extremely well in the g-league. He shot 38% from 3 this season, and Larry Brown used to run him at PG during practice at SMU. He’s got perimeter skills, and he’s basically the same age as white,24.
I was about to post the same thing. This Summer league is going to be one of the most watched by me. I'm interested to see Walker, Moore and our draft picks play badly. I wonder who is going to coach this group of young men?
Uebanks will dominate the summer league.
Yeah Eubanks a walk on way out played Metu last year it will be interesting if he does the same this summer
Eubanks did play well in limited minutes this season. I'm very interested to see how he plays in the summer league also. Metu didn't look like an NBA player
If Moore could work his way into the regular rotation this season and play well, that be huge for the Spurs.
Is Spurs Jonathon Simmons better than Ben Moore? An he make his into the roster via the same route?
They play different positons. JS is a straight up SG. Moore is a SF/PF hybrid.
I don't think anyone will ever take the same route to the Spurs as JS did.
Oh, I was thinking that they’re both wings. Hopefully, Pop will give him chances early in the season, like he did before with Simmons.
Summer League looks interesting: a little bit of Walker, the new rookies (potentially 3), Eubanks, Metu, Moore...
yeah! Less than 2 months.
I'm hoping, praying he shows real growth and dominates during the Summer League. The Spurs could use a young, hard - nosed, defensive - minded combo forward like Moore on the cheap. Especially, if Pop intends onsticking one of or both 1st round picks in Austin.
A steady diet of Murray, Walker, Moore & Poetl next season could help improve a mediocre to poor Spurs' defensive rotation.
Jeff Van Gundy and Larry Brown love him and those might be Pop's two closest coach friends. Let's hope he works out better than LB's last recommendation (Jackie Butler).
This guy has the right body to back up Rudy when Bertans is getting bullied or beaten in a foot race. Probably more ready than Metu, Samanic, and Johnson this year?
With the free agency coming up on Sunday evening, the Spurs have a chance to sign a someone who is available. But on the other hand, there is the issue with the Spurs' salary cap, so they are pressed to find someone who can be signed at a bargain price that will fill the team's SF need & is "Spursy." Some of those high end free agents that Timvp so graciously posted, may be too far out of reach for this team. Players such as Kelly Oubre, Jr & Danuel House, Jr, could be nice bargain pickups, if available. BUT there is Ben Moore... He's young, still. It sounds like he's a defensive minded player who may be a work in progress with his offensive skills. Perhaps his greatest asset is that he's already in the Spurs' system, which he's already familiar with, unlike any other free agent, outside D-Green 14. I'm excited to see what Moore, along with LW4, can do in the SL. I'm rooting for the guy to excel & hoping that he will show PATFO that he belongs on this team & can fill the SF void. Perhaps the most to be concerned about will be his offensive skills, but we shall see what he can do. If he does well, perhaps we won't need a SF because we've had one under our noses all along, which would be good. Maybe if he does pan out, maybe they could split the MLE salary with him or Eubanks or some other player, or just give it to him out rightly, or hold on to it for the right player and time. GSG!!!
Moore is now an unrestricted free agent:
Hmmm... with Moore being a restricted free agent, the SL will help him get noticed if he allowed to play. The Spurs must have something or someone else up their sleeve to sign up. It's getting interesting... GSG!!!
Yeah they were pretty high on him I don’t know if drafting Keldon changed that or if they going to make a offer for a vet.
