MbergCat’s post yesterday (which I thoroughly enjoyed) after watching Jasper Johnson play in Woodford Co. this weekend got me thinking that we must have posters here who have seen quite a bit of Moreno in action. Would appreciate reading any takes on what they’ve seen, especially whether Moreno has the current ability or at least the potential to keep defenses a little honest from the 3pt. line? Also does Moreno remind anyone else of Tim Duncan (when at Wake Forrest) in his mannerisms and type of game he has?
 
Who does he compare to that we know? Is he a Gafford / Camera type player or is he more toward Jared Carter/Skal type but quicker and more athletic?
 
I have not seen him play but you can find his season stats here:

Thanks. Looks like he's made 1 of 8 from 3pt. line. I hope he already has the shooting mechanics and only needs more practice repetition to improve on that. I think his brother was a good 3pt. shooter at EKU, and he is very tight with and worked a lot with Malachi. So, I was kind of hoping they had worked on Malachi's perimeter shot.

Yeah, I guess talking about Tim Duncan at Wake Forrest (rather than NBA) is going back a little too far for some.
 
He needs to hit the gym, he needs to bulk up big time. He doesn’t shoot great from too far out. He plays weak sometimes. He’s going to take time. Hope I’m wrong, but just my opinions on watching him play.

He will need to be able to pass in Pope's offense. Any word on this aspect of his game?
