Moore is more than just a slasher as he can knock down jumpers from behind the arc and sets his feet before he shoots. He moves well without the ball in his hands and is an underrated defender. Moore's ability to score inside and out is something that will help his game over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411403' first='Brady' last='Loughlin'], 6'4 Don Bosco Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Loughlin had big moments for the Ironmen this season as he helped them win Non-Public A.
