He absolutely was better than Moore. First of all, the full season matters. Second of all, Moore still had major turnover and shooting issues even in the last two months of the season. And no, I'm not counting Johnson since the team played worse with him on the floor and he played like 13 games.
I think you're going out of your way to make him sound worse than he was. I also think you're exaggerating his defensive issues, for the record. He wasn't amazing on that end, but I thought he was fairly neutral. Roach and Hurt were clearly worse.
