One Minute With Isaih Moore

Skyforce big man Isaih Moore signed with the team on February 10th of this year and has brought a positive, high-energy, attitude from day one. His impact on the court has been felt as well, producing a 10-point, 12-rebound double double in his debut with the team. His 6’10 frame and long arms provide excellent defensive presence and rebounding, while his quick feet provide explosiveness at the rim that help lead to some powerful finishes. 

Isaih is from Columbia, South Carolina and played his first year of college basketball at Charleston in South Carolina. After transferring several times, he played his senior season at Fresno State in 2022-23 where he averaged 11.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. In October of 2023 Moore tried out with the Windy City Bulls of the NBA G League and made the roster before his contract was placed on waivers and claimed by Sioux Falls. In eight appearances with the Force so far this season, Moore averages 7.9 points on 62% shooting and 5.4 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per game.
