Moses Moody, Arkansas’ leading scorer during the 2020-2021 season, is attending the 2021 NBA Draft Combine this week. He has and still is looking to make sure he cements himself as a lottery pick in this year’s NBA Draft. Moody, who played high school basketball at Parkview and North Little Rock before taking his talents to the prestigious Montverde Academy near Orlando before coming to the hill, would be Arkansas’ first lottery pick ever, meaning he would get selected anywhere from picks 1-14.

I will make another update when we get more news.
