Alani Moore played 27 minutes in the USC game, had two steals, and committed no turnovers. His counterpart for USC, had 4 turnovers, no steals.

These two players disparate performances played a huge role in the ultimate outcome of the game as Temple had five less turnovers than USC did. Such helped Temple play in rhythm.

Both Alani’s shooting (plus 40 percent on three’s) and non-shooting stats are very good. Often fans don’t look at a players non-shooting stats that are equally important.

Alani also commits only .5 fouls per game which results in less points scored by opponents. He also averages 3-rebound per game.

There’s no basis at the present time to criticize anything he does offensively without considering his total package.

Given that Temple is struggling scoring points in half-court sets, McKie should be creating plays for Alani so he shoots the ball far more than he is Many of the jump shots taken by Rose and NPL should be taken by A.Moore. Too many fans believe because he’s only 5’10,” it’s impossible to get him more open looks. That simply is untrue as there are many short players who shoot far more than Alani does.
