Keil Moore, BrandonClayScouting.com International Director of Scouting, take on Hoard’s game:
At the U17 World Championships, a collection of the best under 17 year old basketball players in the world, Hoard stood out as one of the “IT” kids. His athletic ability would allow him to be good at almost any sport he decided to play but it’s his feel as a scoring wing which is the separator for the newest Wake Forest verbal. When you look at his ability to both score and defend at a high level as well as his athletic upside, Hoard could be the best addition to a Wake Forest roster since Al-Farouq Aminu.
