Expert Analysis
Will Armishaw | Prep Hoops Scout
Moore, a guard out of the Northfield Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts, checks in at #18 among the combo guards and #114 overall. At 6’2″, Moore has good positional size and a strong frame, allowing him to excel as a downhill driver. He does a nice job of balancing his scoring and playmaking, shows the ability to get to his spots out of ball screens, and can make shots both in the mid-range and from behind the arc. On the other end of the floor, he’s tough at the point of attack due to his combination of mobility and strength, while also impressing with his willingness to mix it up as a rebounder. He has yet to announce his future plans.

Read EvaluationAri Rosenfeld | Prep Hoops Scout
Moore has long been known to be solid as a rock at the point guard spot, and things appear no different despite a change in location for the Bullis (MD) grad. The DMV product was key in leading NMH to a decisive first round win over Millbrook (NY), getting to his spots with consistency off the bounce and showing his typical comfort making plays from the middle of the lane. A former Stonehill commit in the 2025 class, Moore should be attracting attention from similar levels as he continues to impact the prep school level after a standout career in the high school ranks.

Read EvaluationRobbie Hodin | Prep Hoops Scout
In a rough loss to Phillips Andover, Moore looked like one of the lone bright spots for NMH. The 6-foot-2 guard can score from all three levels and uses his quickness, strength and ball handling to get to various spots on the floor. Once he gets to the mid range, he gets good elevation on his shot and is a tough cover as a result. He can also make shots from deep while on the move. Defensively, Moore’s strength and length allows him to guard a variety of positions, and he’s a relatively alert help-side defender.

Moore, who checks in at #59 overall and #7 among the lead guards, has a good feel for the game with the ball in his hands and two-way versatility as a defender. He does a nice job of playing off of two feet in the paint, plays at different speeds coming out of ball screens, and shows the ability to make different passes on the move. He has deep range on his jumper and some creativity as a scorer in the paint. On the other end, he’s got quick hands and quick feet that allow him to generate a high number of steals and deflections. A former Stonehill commit, he should have a variety of Division I suitors this winter.

Read EvaluationTom Keller | Prep Hoops Scout
Moore is a sound point guard who is effective getting to different spots downhill and has the ability to live in the paint. He got to the foul line on several occasions. Moore showed flashes from behind the arc. He is an assertive defender who has no problem applying ball pressure and staying on his man like glue. He is an extension of the coach on the floor and has no issues conducting the troops. His winning pedigree translates nicely for college programs in need of a floor general.

Defensively, he’s tough, competitive, and makes an impact on the defensive glass.
