The 6-foot-5 junior produced career-high
averages of 13.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.4
steals per game in the 2021-22 season, helping the Blue Devils
reach the Final Four.
Moore posted on Instagram, "What an incredible journey this has
been! Long before I stepped on campus in the summer of 2018, I
knew that Duke was home. This program, this school, my
teammates, coaches, and you the fans, have meant so much to me
and my family. Together, we have produced memories and
experiences that will last forever."
ESPN slots Moore at the No. 35 pick in its latest mock draft,
early in the second round, while 247 Sports puts him in the late
first round or early second round.
Now retired Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement, "I
could not be more proud of the player and person that Wendell
has become. He is everything that is good about our game of
college basketball. To see him grow and improve over these last
three years has been special and I'm so happy for Wendell and
his family to have this moment.
"He was our co-captain, one of the best all-around players in
the nation and a huge part of our success. He was there for us
every minute. He led us in assists, led us in minutes, was one
of our best shooters and was there in clutch moments. He will be
an immediate asset to an NBA team."
Two Duke big men, Mark Williams and Paolo Banchero, declared for
the draft earlier this week.
