Yes, Scott has in scrimmages played on the second unit and has not had time developing chemistry with Nate and Rose. But such hasn’t effected his shooting.

Most terrific college teams have consistent high volume three-point shooters in their back-court. Neither Nate nor Rose are that type of players. Both are slashers in half-court sets who need the ball in their hands to go to the hoop. They’re difficult to play with Rose and Nate, and neither are good ball distributors.

Alani is taking as many three’s as Alston, but because he doesn’t shoot as much as Shizz.

The half-court offense has looked bad as Nate has not hit a three, and Rose is taking a lot of two’s, and only converting on 35 percent on them.

,Nate steals the ball often, and he’s averages 10 rebounds per game.

McKie has shown a willingness to pull the plug early even when Rose is not performing well.

Scott should eventually start as he’s a proven high volume shooter and can get to the rim. Perry ‘s been on fire and he should play and shoot more.

Alani has difficulty playing with Rose and Nate. He’s still making more steals ( 2.5 per game) than turnovers ( 1.5 per game) which is unheard for a PG averaging 33.5 mpg. That wins games. His three point shooting will improve as he’s been told the slight flaw in his shooting form..

Scott being on the court more would open up the court for Alani. Rose, and Nate. And Scott can play as a PG. He’s had no turnovers, and time and time again when contested inside finds the open man.

Alani should play more at SG. Scott would get Hamilton and D. Moore more integrated into the offense.

With Scott starting or playing a lot, Temple’s transition offense will be so much better than is presently is as both Nate and Rose clueless as to how to run a fast break other than to take the ball to the hoop themselves.

Scott’s also a good ball stealer. Top 100 two years ago.
