thats wild to say....there isnt a singe better 3point shooter on your roster better than alston...its not even close...its no even kinda close
shizz had to carry your offense and was shooting heavily contest 3s off the dribble ..you equated deep bench players who shot 1 3 a game when they were wide open as having a better shot because of percentages without context
Pesik, do your homework before your text false info. In conference play, Moorman averaged 3.3 three-pointers per game. A.Moore averaged taking 1.9 per game three’s per game. Each player did not shoot 1 three per game as you assert. Both Rose and NPL also shot better on three’s than Alston in conference play. They should have taken some of his three’s as well.
Not surprised that you seem to think that both Moorman and Alani shoring 42.4 percent on three’s in conference play is worse than Alston’s 33 percent.
There was no need for Shizz to carry Temple as Temple had a lot of fine shooters..and Shizz would have been wiser to shoot more two’s than three’s as he shot 2’s at a higher equivalent rate. Alston have been shooting more two’s than three’s, rather than the other way around.
He had a few games that he kept chucking up three’s when he was off. Many were wide open catch and shoot shots. There was no need to do that as Moorman and Alani shot three’s better.
He was not the only Temple player jacking up shots when they were off., at the same time more efficient shooters were on the court. That should not have been tolerated. Hope we don’t see that this seasonZ.
Alston’s low 3-point shooting percentage also occurred because at times shot from to deep. He didn’t shoot as you assert many three’s per game off his dribble.
Hamilton was a much better two-point shooter and should have been shooting more.
Hooefully, there will be more balance in Temple’s shooting this season.
you are nitpicking, you are trying to argue between 1 and 1.9 3s a game, when you clearly knew my point was that they rarely shot, which 1.9 is rarely shooting
its like you saying shizz shot too much and was doing 9 or 10 a game..and i respond saying your putting wrong info he only shot 8.7 a game....that's a silly response
but ignoring the silly rhetoric argument, back to the main point...again using flat percentages is dumb...
in mooremans own words from a week ago he says he only shoots the ball when he is open
if you think there are 6 players who are better 3pt shooters on temples roster than for a temple super fan you aren't very informed about temple
the overwhelming majority of shizzs shots where off the dribble while being defended by the opposing teams best defenders..

mooreman stands in 1 spot already in shooting form waiting for someone to pass him the ball...
never shoots it contested, never shoots it off the dribble...
(again this is something he himself doesnt deny)
using only percentages to define shooters is silly, armoni broooks was the best shooter in the aac, he wasnt top 10 in the aac is 3pt%
Temple as a team in in conference play shot 35.3 percent on three’s. Alston shot but 33 percent on three’s. So he was hardly Temple’s best three-point shooter as you assert.bNPL, Rose, Moorman, and Alani all made a higher percentage of three point shots in conference play.
If you want to define a good three-point shooter, as one who can shoot off the dribble as opposed to only off catch and shoot, so be it. don’t. All I care about is that the ball goes in the hoop at a higher rate than another player.
HC Buzz Willians tells his players he prefers that they not shoot three’s off the dribble. One reason VT was one of the best three-point shooting teams in the nation, but not a fun way to play bb.
A would-be three point shooter can usually always get an open three. If need be, just need to have screen or pick set for him.
You seem to imply that Moorman nor Alani took many three-point shots as they were rarely open.,l Moorman and Alani had a lot of open three-point shots they passed up. passed up. I felt like yelling at my tv screen when they did so.
They should have as they were both better three-point shooters in conference play than Shizz was.
Nice that you chose a clip oof Shizz shooting off the dribble, not his shooting catch and shoot three’s, as if that proves your point that he primarily shot off his dribble. If anyone has advanced stats showing him shooting off catch and shoot, please post them.
Do expect Temple to have at least six players this season who will shoot three’s a higher percentage than Shizz’s 33 percent in conference games.
And Temple’s returning players can easily replace Alston, as they shot better than Alston, and should have shot more often last season in conference play. Add in new additions James Scott and D.Dunn, who are both excellent voters and shooter’s, Temple has substantial improved it’s team. According to Moorman, Scott is also a very good play-maker.
Temple will have a high-octane offense that will be difficult for conference opponents to overcome.
