Trail Blazers guard Taze Moore signs with CEBL's Vancouver Bandits

Taze Moore doesn't take basketball for granted, so when a unique opportunity to play summer ball came up, he grabbed it. After playing four NBA games for the Portland Trail Blazers this year, the 25-year-old guard is bringing his skills to the Vancouver Bandits of the Canadian Elite Basketball League. Coming to B.C. is another stop in Moore's quest to secure an NBA contract. Hailing from Southaven, Miss., the six-foot-five, 195-pound athlete grew up playing football and street ball before basketball took him to California State University, Bakersfield.
