According to Noa Delzell of CelticsBlog, Moore had signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Boston Celtics after spending all of last season with the Charlotte Hornets on a two-way deal.

An Exhibit 10 contract is essentially a training camp deal. Moore will start the season in camp with the Celtics and pursue a two-way deal and if not, he would inevitably get sent to Boston's G-League team.

Moore saw the court in Charlotte in 16 games last season and posted career high numbers, averaging 5.4 points per game, on 3.2 rebounds, and 37% from 3-point range all while averaging 16 minutes.

It’s not much, but it was a gigantic step up for a player who wasn’t getting many looks from teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Detroit Pistons.

Just this past summer, Moore had shined in Summer League with the Orlando Magic. On 44% shooting, 13.8 points per game, 6.8 rebounds, as well as a steal, Moore proved that his game is only improving.

“I showed that I deserved to be in this league,” Moore told Orlando Sentinel’s Jason Beede. “I showed I can be one of the best defenders out here. I can make shots, I can get downhill, play secondary lead guard, if needed. I showed I can do a bunch of things on the floor that can help teams win.”

The NBA has become much more of a flashy game that demands more perimeter shooting, which very well could’ve kept someone like Moore out of the league. 

But as he’s continued to develop his game, he’s at the very least proven to be a quality outside shooter.

He shot 41% from 3 as a junior, and along with that, won ACC All-Defense by being one of the better perimeter defenders with 1.4 steals per game.

While playing for Charlotte last season, it was only evident at how much he’s improved from 3. The distance adjustment can often be jarring for some college players, especially one like Moore who worked hard to become a better outside shooter.

But during his time with the Hornets, his jumpshot looked pure, quick, and held a high release. Not only that, he cuts to the hoop at the perfect time allowing himself to get an easy dunk if a ball handler is able to spot him.

There’s no doubt that Moore is an NBA player, who can serve as a Bruce Bowen-type of player, who can play defense at a high level, and make perimeter shots when needed.

And for a team like the Celtics, who are in a bit of limbo with the injury to Jayson Tatum and the trade of Jrue Holiday, why wouldn’t they want a guy like Moore?
