An All-Region selection last season, Temple is a strong, physical scoring guard who plays with confidence and toughness on both ends of the floor. He does an excellent job of controlling the tempo, playing at his own pace and rarely allowing defenders to speed him up. Temple uses his strength and ball handling ability to get into the paint, where he is a difficult matchup and can finish effectively through contact. He is also a capable perimeter shot maker who can keep defenses honest with his outside shooting.

A poised floor general who operates with effortless rhythm when attacking the basket and shows great decisiveness when choosing his opportunities. He’s a reliable shot creator who can capitalize on swing-swing actions, getting his feet set and knocking down open looks. His feel for the game and ability to make quick reads allow him to stay efficient while keeping the offense flowing.

Temple is a lightning-fast guard who caught my eye early with his ability to create his own shot despite his smaller stature. He has a tight handle and a knack for making difficult shots, using step-backs, pump fakes, and step-throughs to consistently create space for mid-range jumpers. He is also capable of getting downhill and finding ways to score through traffic once he gets an advantage. On the defensive end, Temple brings a high motor and applies tremendous pressure to opposing guards, consistently forcing turnovers and creating steals. I watched him come away with roughly three or four steals per game throughout the day, showing just how disruptive he can be on that end. Temple is a point guard prospect who is flying under the radar and has the skill set to become a valuable piece for a small-college program.

Temple is a scrappy point guard who has gamer written all over him. He provides value on the offensive end with his elite vision in transition along with his ability to organize an offense in the half court. He showed a ton of poise with the ball in his hands and gave Centennials zone a lot to handle. He is an impressive finisher around the rim and has a lot of different finishes on both sides of the basket to get buckets over and around the trees down low. To go along with his slashing ability he is a reliable perimeter scorer as well with a solid jumper that he shoots at a high clip when left open. The kind of prospect that will run the show at the next level and is worth taking a serious look at over the next year.

One of the biggest surprises of the day, Temple poured in 23 points for the Jaguars and emerged as one of the top perimeter prospects in the gym. The scoring guard has good strength, is extremely difficult to keep out of the paint, and showed the ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc. Playing with a true scorer’s mentality, the junior competes with toughness on both ends of the floor and consistently puts pressure on the defense.
