Wendell Moore Jr. is entering his fourth NBA season with the Detroit Pistons, wearing No. 14. He is a 6-5, 215-pound guard, 25 years old, out of Duke. Moore's role with this roster has been limited so far. Last season he logged only six games for Detroit, a small sample that reflects a bench spot rather than a rotation fixture. He is not on the injury report heading into 2026-27, which at least means health is not the reason for a limited workload. The numbers below come from that six-game stretch last season and give the clearest picture of what he did on the floor when he got minutes.

In six games with Detroit last season, Moore averaged 9.9 minutes, 1.7 points, 1.0 rebound, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, with 0.2 turnovers. He shot 57.1 percent from the field but did not attempt a made three, going 0.0 percent from beyond the arc. He was a perfect 100.0 percent from the free-throw line. His true shooting mark sat at 63.5 percent, efficient in a very small sample. His usage rate was just 6.6 percent, underlining how limited his offensive role was when he did see the floor. His plus-minus for the season was plus-7.0.
