MOREHEAD, Ky. – Former Morehead State men's basketball dynamo guard Xavier Moon has agreed to a standard contract with the Toronto Raptors' NBA G-League affiliate, the Raptors 905.
 
The name "905" refers to the local area code of the suburban Greater Toronto Area. The hoops club fields their competition at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. By adding Moon, Raptors 905 will look to get back to the top of their class, having won the league championship in 2016-17 and taking runner-up honors in 2017-18.
 
The Goodwater, Ala., native continues his expeditions after his most recent stint saw him win League Player of the Year honors with the Edmonton Stingers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League. Moon averaged nearly 20 points and six assists per contest, while connecting on 43 percent of his attempts from behind the arc. 
 
The Stingers finished with the second seed in the league playoffs, losing in the semifinals to eventual league champion, Saskatchewan Rattlers, led by former Morehead State center Chad Posthumus. Prior to that, Moon began his professional endeavors with the London Lightning of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC), also based in Ontario.
 
Moon graduated from Morehead State University in May 2017 with a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science.
 
As a senior in blue & gold, Moon took home First-Team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors, started in all 30 games, and averaged 16 points and five assists per game, while shooting 41 percent from long range. His scoring acumen is not lost on Eagles' fans, who witnessed Moon record double-figure scoring performances in 25 of 30 tilts in his senior campaign, eclipsing 20 markers on six occasions. 
 
Additionally, he tabbed what was believed to be the first-ever triple-double in Morehead State men's basketball history, when he logged 25 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds versus Central Arkansas on Dec. 19^th, 2016 in Johnson Arena. Moon outdid himself only one other time, pouring in a career-high 26 points at Austin Peay on Jan. 19^th, 2017 in Clarksville. He scored 21 of those 26 in the second half, finishing 10-of-16 from the field, 6-of-10 from three-point land.
 
As a junior, Moon's contributions to the 2015-16 Eagles helped highlight a unit that, in-conference, was 3^rdin scoring defense (69.0 points per game), 1^stin scoring margin (+4.6), 3^rdin field goal percentage defense (.438), 1^stin all stats pertaining to rebounds (offensive rebounds per game, defensive rebounds per game, rebounding offense and defense), 3^rdin assists per game (14.4), 1^stin steals per game (8.2), and 1^stin turnover margin (+2.3).
 
The 2015-16 Eagles finished with a 23-14 overall record, an 11-5 mark in the Ohio Valley Conference, and a runner-up finish in the College Basketball Invitational Tournament. The 23 wins sets the bar for 4^th-most wins in school history.

Moon is one of 21 former Eagles' men's basketball players to have played professionally since 2011: himself, Kenneth Faried (last with Houston Rockets), Demonte Harper (Gran Canaria, Spain), Chad Posthumus (Saskatchewan Rattlers, Canada), Angelo Warner (Brescia, Italy), Corban Collins (Cantu, Italy), Anthony Elechi (La Roda, Spain), Lyonell Gaines (Obregon, Mexico), Brent Arrington (Halifax Hurricanes, Canada), Dejuan Marrero (Ponce, Puerto Rico), Lamontray Harris (Zaporizhye, Ukraine), Miguel Dicent (Metros STGO, Dominican Republic), Treshaad Williams (Villa San Martin, Argentina), Karam Mashour (Bnei Hertzeliya, Israel), Kareem Storey (Medias, Romania), Ty'Quan Bitting (Rahoveci, Kosovo), Billy Reader (Leicester Riders, England), Luka Pajkovic (Olimpic, Romania), Milton Chavis (Kordall Steelers, Luxembourg), Devon Atkinson (Lakeside Lightning, Australia), Sam Goodman (Atlanta Aliens).
