Shizz Alston Jr. was a high-usage, all-around Temple guard with scoring punch and playmaking touch
Alston’s calling card at Temple was his ability to carry an offense as a scoring-and-distribution lead guard; in 2018-19, he earned his third American Athletic Conference Player of the Week honor after averaging 26.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.5 assists over a 2-0 week. His value goes beyond box scores: he showed poise, a creator’s feel, and the toughness to handle heavy responsibility at the point. For a team needing a confident initiator who can both score and set up teammates, he fits well.
