Charlie Moore to Memphis: Tigers Land 4-Star PG Prospect

The Memphis Tigers solidified the point guard position for the foreseeable future by landing 4-star recruit Charlie Moore on Thursday.

Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports passed along the news and added his thoughts on how Moore will fit in with the Tigers:

Moore is a 5'10", 160-pound point guard from Morgan Park in Chicago. He's considered the top prospect from the state of Illinois, the No. 15-ranked point guard prospect and the No. 75-ranked overall prospect in the 2016 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.

ESPN.com's scouting report describes Moore as follows: "A cat-quick, tough and fearless guard that is an aggressive playmaker. He has a tight handle, is an excellent passer as he attacks and has beyond-the-arc shooting range when he is in rhythm."

Moore offered his own personal scouting report.

“When I’m hitting shots, they are going to try and get up on me hard, so I go right around them,” Moore told Evan Daniels of Scout.com in July at the Las Vegas Classic. “Either I’ll score or look for the open man for an easy basket.”

While Moore's size will be a slight concern, he compensates for it with his speed, vision and playmaking ability. He can score the rock or set up his teammates for easy buckets. He is also a dangerous scorer from the perimeter and can use his quickness to separate from defenders or quickly step back and hit from beyond the arc.

His versatility makes him a hassle for defenders. It will also make him a key player for Memphis in the coming years.
