Totally disagree.
WE'll never know for sure of course, but how can you say definitively that the sophomore version of MCW wouldn't have happened his freshman year, had he gotten more PT?
I remember watching  freshman MCW go coast-to-coast and throw it down on St. John's at MSG, and thinking to myself "if this kid develops, by year's end we will be unstoppable".
Now if you wanna argue Dion, Triche, et al, took his available PT that's one thing.  But I for one was looking forward to seeing MORE of MCW in the Tourney that year, and yet the kid was completely  SHUT-DOWN for the Dance. And yes, we made the Elite 8 that year, but we'll never know if an experienced MCW might've made a difference versus Aaron Craft and OSU, for instance. Which is basically the whole point of the "play-em" argument...WHY THE HELL NOT????
Call me an optimist, but I'd like to believe having that option ON the table, is better than not having it at all. JMHO
