Alex Shorts gives Miami (OH) a proven scoring forward with veteran production
Alex Shorts has already shown he can carry real offensive load for Miami (OH), averaging 13.6 points and 3.7 rebounds in 25.7 minutes per game in the 2001-02 season, with a strong 83.3% free-throw mark and a knack for getting to the line.[1] His value is less about flash and more about reliability: a steady interior scorer who can space the floor a bit, compete physically, and bring the kind of toughness coaches usually trust in rotation minutes. Miami also noted he led the team in scoring before his dismissal and later reinstatement, which adds some off-court context to evaluate fit.[5][11]
