Edit ProfileCareer
During his four-year tenure at Furman, Moore averaged 16.9 points per game, became one of only three players in conference history to be named First Team All-SoCon four times, was a two-time SoCon Basketball Tournament Most Valuable Player and was twice named the Southern Conference Men"s Basketball Player of the Year. Through the 2009-2010 season, his rebounds total is sixth all-time in conference history, while his points total ranks eighth. After his collegiate career ended, Moore was selected in the third round (64th overall) in the 1980 National Basketball Association Draft by the Detroit Pistons.
However, he never played a game in the league.
Moore spent the first season out of college in Italy playing for Nuova Pallacanestro Vigevano with another Furman alumnus, Clyde Mayes. He was hoping to become more National Basketball Association-ready by playing a year of professional basketball abroad and then try to make the Pistons" roster for the 1980-1981 season, but ultimately it never worked out.
Moore played 14 seasons in Finland"s Korisliiga from 1983 to 1998.
