10:44am: Moore tells Matt Velasquez of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he asked to be released from his contract because of anxiety issues (Twitter link). Moore said he wants to get help with that problem before pursuing an NBA career.
10:01am: The Bucks have requested waivers on Jalen Moore, who signed a two-way contract July 8, the team announced via Twitter.
Milwaukee signed former Celtics guard James Young to a training camp deal this week, so it’s possible the team is considering him for the open two-way spot. Bronson Koenig has the Bucks’ other two-way contract. The Bucks now have 17 players under contract for training camp, but only 13 have guaranteed money.
Moore, who played for Milwaukee’s entry in the Las Vegas Summer League, was an All-Mountain West selection last season at Utah State. The 6’8″ forward averaged 17.0 points and 5.5 rebounds as a senior and shot 38.3% from 3-point range.

Anxiety? Just pretend your audience is all in their underwear. Even though basically you are instead.
You should never be a shrink
I’m assuming you have no idea what mental illness is really like
I seem to have been on a run of endeavoring humorous posts. This is risky on the internet, especially when the topic may be sensitive and the humor is hard to get and not so good if gotten anyway. For the record, it’s funny that basketball unis resemble some people’s underwear, and, that a famous cure for public speaking anxiety is imaging the audience is in their underwear. But only my nasal surgery painkillers think that post is funny.
That’s a shame for the kid. He has great hair
If he was good instead of fear the beard for harden it would be fear the fro.
