Defensive-minded freshman guard with elite prep production
Ella Moore enters Duke as a **freshman guard** with a strong defensive profile and high-motor upside, backed by a prep résumé that includes **22.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.2 steals, and 3.8 assists** as a senior at Holton-Arms, plus **three MVP awards** and **team-captain leadership**. Duke lists her as **did not see game action in 2024-25**, so the key question is translation to ACC speed, but her steal-and-assist numbers suggest a disruptive, connective backcourt fit for teams that value pressure defense, toughness, and winning habits.[6][1]
