McKie would be wise letting Alani distribute the ball rather than Rose as that experiment has failed. As Rose turns the ball over once every 13.6 minutes, Alani once every 25 minutes.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Alani among the top players in the nation committing the fewest turnovers per minute. Rose’s turnovers are costing Temple points, and gifting opponents more points.

Not good that Nate is not only shooting poorly, but that he also has committed more turnovers in last six games than he has made steals.


His brother Josh has not fixed his glaring weaknesses of committing turnovers and fouling too frequently. He’s averaging 1 turnover every 13 minutes by making dumb passes. Last night, Josh played 20 minutes and commited 3 turnovers, or almost 1 every 7 minutes. It thwarts Temple from getting into any kind of rhythm. His turnover problem should have been cleaned up by the coaches long again. His turnovers offsets him scoring 8 points last night and shooting 3-5 from the field.

Josh also commits 1 foul every 11.6 minutes. Alani commits 1 foul every 20 minutes, almost half less fouls than Josh. Scott also fouls less often than Josh does.

Not pleased with Josh continuing to try to dunk the ball and risk missing, when he has a easy lay-up. He has been told by the coaches to just lay the ball in, but he refuses to listen to them.

Don’t think Josh should play as many minutes as he does until he learns just to make short safe passes, and not kohl by keeping his hands off opponents.
