Mikki Moore

Solid veteran presence but not much upside. Moore should lose minutes as the team gets the youngsters more and more involved.

During the offseason, the seven-foot power forward-center parlayed a career year for the Nets into a three-year free agent contract with the Kings. In New Jersey, Moore replaced an injured Nenad Krstic (knee) 26 games into the season and flourished. He posted career-highs of 9.8 points and 5.1 rebounds, shooting 60.9 percent from the field to lead the NBA. Don’t expect similar numbers this year considering the glut of frontcourt players battling for time. Moore has played on seven teams in 11 years because his game is unrefined and most effective in limited minutes. Moreover, Jason Kidd was a huge part of the aforementioned statistics. Remember that on draft day.

Moore was signed by the Nets as a free agent after having played with the Supersonics in 2005-2006. In 47 games, he averaged 3.3 ppg and 2.8 rpg. Moore will be asked to back up center Jason Collins and could see decent minutes if Collins gets into foul trouble.

The 7-foot Moore adds frontcourt depth. Moore averaged 5.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 15.9 minutes last year with the Clippers, but he isn't likely to see as many minutes with Seattle, barring injury.
