Or maybe even gotten a #1 seed.
Dion is easy, not who starts, its who finished and he mostly finished.
i was mostly kidding about them starting, but i do think mcw should have got more run at the end of the year whenever bad scoop was making an appearance. the cincinnati game in the big east tournament comes immediately to mind.

Nope. MCW was not ready. Dion was better mentally off the bench.

and Jerami Grant's mythknowing what we know now, then clearly the starting five for the NCAA tournament should have been:
MCW
Dion
Dirty
Rak
Baye
well...some may recall that prior to last season I posted that I thought we would be better off if scoop had left and we had a 3 man backcourt of McW, Triche, and dion (which was a veery well received post not). Basically my premise was that if Scoop came back mcw wouldnt play, and that mcw had a much higher upside than scoop and that if he got heavy minutes he would likely be better than scoop by march. I did think that overall we would lose a couple more regular season games as McW went through some growing pains. Now in retrospect it is a debatable point. It's pretty hard to argue with 34-3. And scoop played pretty well in the tourney, he certainly wasn't the reason we lost. Could McW, given a full season of playing time, have given us more than scoop? Maybe...but maybe not.discuss

In my view, Dion came into the game with a different mindset. He had watched the other team a bit and figured out where he could use his strengths (less pressure also). I think James is doing the same thing this year.How do you determine that? Not trying to jump on you but to say that mentally he couldn't handle starting is kind of strange, especially since in the NBA he seems to be doing ok as a starter.
He was very ready last year. The only difference between this year and last is time on the floor. His talent was very obvious last year. I will say again that MCW was the best player on the team last year. His game was very refined and if you didn't see it you were blind.Dion was perfect off the bench last year. He came in with fresh legs and attacked. 34-3.
MCW wasn't ready last year. He showed some good stuff last year in his limited time, but I don't think he could've done much better than Scoop. He is more ready this year.
