An energetic, skilled backup center and locker-room spark whose 2026-27 status is up in the air as a free agent off an injury-shortened year. With no usable sample to rate, the value here is the familiar role he's filled in Orlando — instant-offense, floor-spacing minutes off the bench when right.

Moritz, at 28, was as productive as ever when he played, but managed only 36 games last season, so his value to a team dipped (3.8 → 1.2 wins).

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
