Minnesota selected Moore in the first round of the 2022 NBA draft with the No. 26 overall pick. He struggled to catch on with the team, averaging only 1.1 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 54 career games. But only 22 years old with potential, he now has a chance to find a role in Detroit.

The Wolves are also trading the No. 37 pick as well, but receiving the No. 53 in return, according to insider Jon Krawczynski.
