Premier Basketball League

Moyse was the 2nd overall draft pick by the Halifax Rainmen in the 2008 Premier Basketball League draft, held on October 16, 2008. At the time, Rainmen owner Andre Levingston commented that "Moyse is a great pick. He is very athletic for his size; he runs the floor well and finishes around the basket. Moyse is a player with length that will beat most big men down the floor.". However Moyse and the Rainmen were unable to come to terms on a contract for the 2008–2009 season.
