Kerr on Moser:

“Max comes to Duke with a wealth of experience playing at the highest level in Austria. He is a versatile player who can get up and down the flanks working on both sides of the ball. He can beat players on the dribble and serves a great ball into the box. We expect big things from Max and look forward to having him here at Duke.”
