Hunter Dean got out rebounded for the winning bucket for UGA last night


Neither of them are good. OP is correct that playing the lower usage big man with Cook and Wright would be worth a try.

Mwani needs to start getting more minutes as well.

Dean has been our best rebounder on the team, despite that last rebounding failure. I think it was just a combination of bad luck, and "good" technique by Georgia's guy. Dean also had the highest eFG%, so this matches the eye test.

I was really glad to see Mwani in the Georgia game. He was playing lockdown defense against Georgia. He stays in front of his player better than anyone on the team. When we need good defense, we should deploy Mwani. I think he may also be the best athlete on the team, and it's fun to watch him. The problem is that he has completely fallen off offensively. I wish someone would help him figure out what has happened to his 3 point shot. He shot in the 40, 40, and 44% in his first 3 years, and this year he is only shooting 15.4%. If he could get his shot back, I think he would start.

It's true that Dean's man scored the winning bucket last night. But I am not sure that things would have been different if Baker had been playing at that time.

I also think Wilkinson's minutes need to be increased.

I would hope that next season, the new big men will have higher skill levels and certainly expect that out of Miller.
