MBB Season with a healthy Mwani

For basically the entire season, Mwani was battling a shoulder injury in his shooting arm. This explains the multiple DNPs, the downturn in efficiency, and the lack of minutes he received in many games.
How different do you think this season would have been had Wilkinson been healthy? I personally noticed many times when he did play he was left wide open in the corner (his favorite shot) and our team simply didn’t hit him.
I think the few minutes he played in the Arkansas game won it for us with his leadership on defense. I don’t think our record would be drastically better but I do think that we could see a couple more wins with his defense and 3pt shooting helping out our team on both ends of the court.

Mwani is nothing more than a role player, would not make much difference.

Mwani can’t create his own shot so outside of hitting a corner 3, he’s not moving the needle for you offensively. Considering that an inept offense seemed to be the biggest issue at the beginning of the losing streak, I don’t think he would’ve helped much.

Literally no difference. He's never had any offense and the defense he would provide isnt enough to make any real outcome difference in the games we've had.

No difference.... he's a sub at best.

I'm sorry but the win total does not change.

MWani is a good defender but he's not much of an offensive threat and that's what this team is lacking more than anything. the second thing this team lacks more than anything else is the ability to rebound. Mwani was an ok rebounder but he wasn't going to average double digit points or rebounds. So, not much of a difference.

We definitely would have been better going through the gauntlet we started the SEC with. He would give us a more traditional lineup than the 3 guard lineup we had to switch to. He certainly would have helped us in the last 3 games.

Mwani was so so bad at the start of the year. Maybe he was hurt but he was terrible.

I think people on here don't realize the value of timely 3 point shots. I think he provides that to get us out of awful scoring droughts and turn defense to offense as well. Not a lot of wins would be gained, but certainly not impossible we at least get one or two wins against Florida, Kentucky, or Texas Tech.

There is no maybe, he was literally playing with a shoulder injury in his shooting arm. That explains his poor play.

Agreed

Miss his defense and sec experience for sure
But not being a scoring option tends to hurt the offense more

2-14 instead of 1-15
He’s not a game changer whatsoever

but I do think that we could see a couple more wins
