<a href="https://www.on3.com/college/duke-blue-devils/">Duke</a> small forward <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/wendell-moore-120332/">Wendell Moore</a> is off the board in the 2022 NBA Draft. With the No. 26 pick of the first round, Moore was selected by the Houston Rockets — who traded him to the Minnesota Timberwolves.



A four-star recruit in the Class of 2019, Wendell Moore became an increasingly important member of the Duke Blue Devils over the years. His final season at Duke was also <a href="https://www.on3.com/news/best-coach-k-quotes-on-success-and-leadership-to-motivate-you/">Mike Krzyzewski’s</a> last. Moore and his Duke teammates did their best to make <a href="https://www.si.com/college/2022/04/03/coach-k-career-ends-unc-final-four-hubert-davis">Coach K’s final season</a> memorable, but they fell short in their final home game to <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/north-carolina-tar-heels/">North Carolina</a>, the ACC Championship Game against <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/virginia-tech-hokies/">Virginia Tech</a>, and the Final Four to the Tar Heels again.



In the 2021-22 season, Wendell Moore made a huge impact on the court. His season-high in scoring came against <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/syracuse-orange/">Syracuse</a> when he put up 26 points. One the year, he was Second-team All-ACC and ACC All-Defensive Team. He also won the Julius Erving Award, as the top collegiate small forward. 



On his career, Wendell Moore averaged 10.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game. He also shot 45.9% from the field and 35.8% from three-point range. 



In the pre-draft process, there was debate as to where Wendell Moore would be drafted. Most experts agreed that he would fit somewhere in the second round. <a href="https://www.on3.com/news/espn-releases-updated-nba-mock-draft-following-significant-trade-jabari-smith-chet-holmgren-paolo-banchero-denver-nuggets-oklahoma-city-thunder/">ESPN</a> placed him at 36th overall in a mock draft. 



There is a lot to like about Wendell Moore at the next level. He has a massive wingspan and is an excellent ball-handler. That’s going to make him versatile on both sides of the court. He’s also a smart player who rebounds well, due to that length.



At the same time, there’s room for him to improve as a shooter, especially off the dribble. He’ll also need to keep working to clean up turnovers at the NBA level, or he’ll become too much of a liability as the ball-handler.



Wendell Moore has all the potential in the world. The question is whether or not he can live up to that potential.
