Ben Moore signs with South East Melbourne Phoenix

Former San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers forward Ben Moore has signed with South East Melbourne Phoenix for the NBL21 season.

The 25-year-old American has signed a one-year deal as an import player.

Moore played four years of college basketball at Southern Methodist University (SMU) before spending the last three years splitting time between NBA and NBA G-League opportunities at San Antonio and Indiana.

At 203cm (6-8) and possessing a versatile skillset on both ends of the floor, Moore will spend time at both forward spots and the centre position for the Phoenix.

He says his assets will help turn the Phoenix into a tough, hard-edged team.

“It just sounded like a great opportunity for me and I think I could bring some things to the team that are really going to help them out, so I’m really excited about getting there. I heard the culture is already really good there so it should be a great fit,” Moore said.

“I’m going to play as hard as I can every game. Defensively, I’m going bring a lot to the team and I’m going to try to embody the (team) culture.
