A reliable knockdown shooter from beyond the arc, Moore can stretch the floor and space the defense. His crafty finishes in the lane, whether using floaters or deceptive layups, allow him to score effectively despite his size. Moore is also a strong passer in transition, consistently setting up teammates for easy layups and fast-break opportunities. His vision and decision-making under pressure highlight his court awareness and play making ability. Defensively, Moore's quickness make him a nuisance for opposing players. Playing for Team Thad, he is an asset to any team, contributing in multiple ways without needing to dominate the ball. His ability to impact the game on both ends despite his size will catch eyes this Spring/Summer.<br><br><br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1808858"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67dab2bbb9377"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A highly skilled offensive threat who will be playing for [program_tooltip program_id='2226228' first='Team' last='CP3'].

He thrives on both ends of the floor, making an impact with his ability to score and defend at a high level. Offensively, his biggest strength is attacking the rim with power and control, using his athleticism to finish through contact. Over time, he has developed a reliable midrange pull-up and a spot-up three, adding layers to his scoring arsenal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Defensively, Havrylyuk is a standout, capable of guarding multiple positions with his strength, quick feet, and high defensive IQ.
