I would love to see MCW get time.  I like watching players develop.  But that's what it is for me, developmental time.  I am still hoping that MCW will get minutes at UConn, at least in the 1st half.  And good minutes in the BET, where hopefully he can get some run for several games.  That would be for JB, a less pressurized, and smart way to get him some minutes and see if he can be used in the NCAAT.
 
I think MCW would really have to show a couple of things in the BET to have a shot at any minutes in the NCAAT.  He would need to showcase his 3 pt shot and not turn the ball over.  I thought his 3 ptr looked good against St Johns.  But his handle is suspect and if he is getting pickpocketed in practice the risk of having him out there is not worth it.   He is a tall freshman guard with a slightly high dribble.
 
The only way I can see to use an advantage in talent discrepancy between teams 4th guards is to press (MCW has got to be the best 4th guard in the country - and I say that as an SU fan by doing absolutely no analysis).  JB is hesitant to press a lot because of the possible foul pressure on Fab.  I would like to see JB work around that by putting in BMK (and maybe a couple of times with Rak), and maybe JS, and MCW and press, press, press.  Just tire out the other team.  And if we are pressing them, it is unlikely that the opposition would press back (a potential weakness for MCW) because that would just exert tremendous energy on a team, while we are resting several of our starters.
