Q.Rose is taking 23 percent of all of Temple’s two’s (8.7 per game), and is only shooting 30 percent (8-26) on two’s. One reason Temple is shooting only 45.8 percent on two’s as a team, and averaging but 71.7 ppg.

By Temple winning, Mckie is blinded by Rose’s sub-par performance.

Temple needs a shooter,,and Scott has proved that. As in team scrimmages
The last two seasons, Scott has Tge second unit into wins over the first unit.

Scott played only 15 minutes against Morgan State, and took but 1 shot from the field. Temple needs him to both play and shoot more. Scott also played only 18 minutes against LaSalle, and took but 2 shots, both three’s, and shot 1-2 on three’s. In neither games, did Rose and NPL look to pass the ball to him. for him.

With McKie set on playing Alani, NPL and Rose in the backcourt, it seems there’s no way to get Scott significant minutes in the rotation

If Scott is not going to play substantial minutes and shoot often, Temple will need to continue to rely on its pressure defense for both points and wins.
