Malik Moore
#22Xavier
Scout Report
Standing 6-3 with elite court vision and the ability to run an offense like a seasoned veteran, this rising floor general has already locked down his college future ahead of schedule.
Background
Hailing from Plainfield, New Jersey, Malik Moore has developed his craft at Union Catholic Regional High School, a program known for developing high-level talent. The 2028 prospect has made waves on both the high school and AAU circuits, showcasing the type of leadership and basketball IQ that college coaches covet in their backcourt.
Playing Style
Moore's 6-3 frame gives him a significant size advantage at the point guard position, allowing him to see over defenders and create passing lanes that shorter guards simply cannot. His court vision and feel for the game stand out immediately, as he consistently makes the right read in transition and half-court sets. While his passing ability is his calling card, Moore also possesses the scoring versatility to hurt defenses when they focus too heavily on his playmaking. His combination of size, basketball IQ, and leadership qualities make him a natural floor general who can elevate his teammates' games.
Recruitment
Moore's early commitment to Xavier demonstrates his maturity and vision, choosing the Musketeers over other quality programs like Hampton and Creighton. His national ranking of #22 in the 2028 class reflects his high ceiling and potential to develop into a premier college point guard. The early commitment allows him to focus purely on development rather than the recruitment process.
