I don't really see an avenue for us to take Mwani out of the starting lineup. Our best performing lineup has been Pinson/Gaines/Murray/Eason/Days, BUT you don't really want to play a ton of minutes with both Pinson and Gaines on the floor because we absolutely need one of them in at all times so they have to be staggered a bit. Mwani is in our next two best performing lineups.

O'Neil could be that guy. He has a good post move.


Played 3 games. Averaging 1.7 ppg.

He has taken 4 shots, total. Which of his 2 makes did you see this “good post move?”

Murray is much better offensively than Wilkinson is. There’s not even a debate about that


I don't disagree, but Wilkinson has almost zero offense - he doesn't even get garbage buckets, and Murray completely disappears from the game after the first 5 minutes.

He can start but WW needs to put a shock collar on him when he gets close to the 3 line. He fouls every 3 pt shooter he sees and shouldn’t shoot unless he’s in the paint. WW just needs to lay down some rules for him which I can’t believe he hasn’t already done.
I agree on him fouling three point shooters but he is actually one of our best three point shooters by percentage. He is third best on the team at 10-24 for 41.7%. This is much better than Darius Days at 39-113 for 34.5%.The only two players ahead of him in percentage? Justice Williams and Efton Reid. Eric Gaines is the worst at 23.4 %. So just going by that one statistic it would seem we need those three guys to take more threes and Days and Gaines less. Of course their percentage would probably go down the more attempts they had but still taking one or two a game wouldn't hurt.
