The Good:
Rebounding. Moreland is a spectacular rebounder. He has averaged 10.4 rebounds per game for the last two years, and his career average is 8.6 rebounds per game. Moreland is a great athlete as well. He started the season on suspension this year, and only played twenty games, but he showed flashes of offensive potential. With a frame similar to a bulkier Kevin Durant, he also is the same type of athlete Durant is. Moreland is a smart player, and he knows his limitations and stays in his lane. He will not step out and take an errant three point attempt. While he showed signs of a decent jump shot, he only attempted 6.5 field goals per game, so his shooting ability is relatively unknown. He makes up for it with his great leaping ability.
The Bad:
Moreland is just not polished offensively. He does not have a reliable jump shot. He was 1-of-2 from three-point range this year. He is not a great finisher around the rim unless he has enough room to slam on someone. Moreland is also foul-prone. His minutes were cut this season because he often got into foul trouble.
The Low-down:
Moreland will be nothing special in the NBA. He is your everyday, pick-and-roll, catch-and-slam power forward. Things could be different if he develops a jump shot. He has immense potential, but can't seem to capitalize on opportunities.
