I think Ewers matured in a notable way but along with that, I think he developed into a lower ceiling collegiate player than the brash, dynamic kid he seemed to be as a top recruit out of high school.
He played with a lot of talent, allowing him to have a solid enough career, but it feels like he was in a great position to really boost his stock and that didn't happen. If it was a reported injury that held him back, that raises other questions and concerns.
If he still has a lot of room to grow and Moore thinks he can get that out of him, could be a nice surprise. But I can't deny I'd hope the team looks elsewhere to address the position and he's only a backup plan if other moves don't fall their way.
