The junior is averaging career-high figures in points (17.5), rebounds (6.3) and assists (5.7) per game.

Plays through early injury Moore totaled 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 67-56 victory over Campbell.
Impact Moore went down with an injury early on in this contest, per Stephen Wiseman of The Raleigh News & Observer, but he was able to return, and it didn't affect him much the rest of the way out. Through three games, Moore sports the second-highest usage rate on the Blue Devils, reaching double figures in both scoring and field goals attempted in each contest. Despite an influx of freshman talent, Moore is on pace to set career bests in most major counting stats this year.

Posts triple-double in win Moore closed with 19 points (7-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 82-56 victory over Army.
Impact Moore was all over the court for Duke in this one, leading the team in points and assists while ranking second in rebounds. Moore might not have the hype of Paolo Banchero, but there's no question he's going to be one of the big weapons for the Blue Devils on both ends of the court, but particularly on offense.

Pours double-digit points Moore recorded 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes in Tuesday's win over Kentucky.
Impact Duke came away with the win in what was a tough season opener, and while Trevor Keels and Paolo Banchero combined for more than half of the Blue Devils' scoring haul, Moore recorded a well-rounded stat line while also being the only other Duke player who scored in double digits. Moore might very well work as the team's third-best scoring option during most of the season as long as both Banchero and Keels remain healthy.

Mostly distributes in exhibition Moore had eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six assists, two steals and one rebound across 18 minutes in Saturday's 106-38 exhibition victory over Winston-Salem State.
Impact Moore is one of the veterans on this Blue Devil team, so it's understandable he didn't need much time to get acclimated, instead setting up his teammates in the blowout win over a DII opponent. Also noteworthy is that it appears that he's hanging on to the starting job he earned back towards the end of last season, at least for the time being. He'll likely draw heavy competition for minutes in the form of freshman A.J. Griffin, who just made his return from a knee injury Saturday. Still, Moore brings important experience and can even seemingly function as a backup ball-handler, so there's plenty of upside heading into his third year with the program.
