Walter Moyse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter Moyse (born in 1981) is a 6-foot-11-inch (211 cm) Canadian basketball player, playing professional basketball in Europe following a successful collegiate career at Acadia University in Canada. Born in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, he is the younger brother of Canadian Gold Medal Olympian and World Rugby Hall of Fame member Heather Moyse.
Moyse was the 2nd overall draft pick by the Halifax Rainmen in the 2008 Premier Basketball League draft, held on October 16, 2008. At the time, Rainmen owner Andre Levingston commented that "Moyse is a great pick. He is very athletic for his size; he runs the floor well and finishes around the basket. Moyse is a player with length that will beat most big men down the floor.".[1] However Moyse and the Rainmen were unable to come to terms on a contract for the 2008–2009 season.
Switzerland
2007-2008 was Moyse's second season playing for Villars of the Swiss "B" league. In the 2007–2008 regular season he led Villars to a 17–5 record (2nd place) while leading the team in scoring (13.9 ppg), rebounding (7.0 rpg), and blocks in only 27.8 min/game while shooting 55.6% from the field and 72.9% from the line. In the 2006–2007 regular season, Moyse led Villars to a 5th-place finish (10–10 record) that earned the team a first-round playoff bye. He ranked 6th in league scoring (18.8 ppg), 7th in league rebounding (9.6 rpg), 9th in free throw percentage (80.4%), 9th in fouls drawn (4.5 pg) and 5th in overall rating (23.6) while shooting 58.5% from the field (117/200) in 17 games.[2][3]
