Moreland is making progress with Kings, as the 22-year old claims he has added close to 20 pounds this offseason with more to go, NBA.com reports. |
Although Moreland went undrafted in June, he impressed the Kings' front office with his college career, setting the Oregon State school record of blocked shots (184), and with his success with the Kings' summer league team, averaging 3.5 points off the bench over six games, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game. If he continues to show that kind of production in the NBA, Moreland will be an up-and-coming player to watch. |
