    I thought he was ready to break out as a 15-18 ppg scorer. I love Batum, but how much better would we be if Webster was playing? How much better would our record be?

    He would have cut into Outlaw's minutes... so we'd probably have 2-3 more wins for that reason alone.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Similarly good. Adding a slightly below average player isn't likely to have changed the team's results thus far.

    He might have evened out some of the up and down performances we've seen from Nicolas, but I don't think the overall affect would be great. Having him available right now on the other hand? Yeesh, what I wouldn't give for just a little bit of depth.

    It would have helped to have him while Brandon was out, and now with Rudy out. He is capable of swinging between sg and sf.

    You're right, our opponents would be winless.

    We'd have a few more wins. Both because Outlaw wouldn't be playing as much, and due to the Roy/Rudy injuries...and now Blake

    It would all come to how consistently he played. It is that simple. This team is screaming for consistent players. Somebody who scores 13 every damn night.

    That's the bottom line for sure.

    He would cut into both Outlaw's and Bahtoom's minutes, so we would probably have 2-3 more losses.

    We'd certainly have at least 2-3 more wins as he might've knocked down the open shots that the rest of our shooters have been unable to hit in our losses.
