How many wins would a healthy Lamonte have added this season?

Hard to say. We would at least have one defender that could stay in front of his man. It's just wasted speculation. No different than wondering if Bone hadn't went pro. You play the hand your dealt.

When all is said and done at the end of the season. Turner's presence on the court would have put us in a position to be in 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th place as predicted. Which would mean 12-6 to 9-9 record or 2 to 4 games.

5 sounds right to me. More assists, points and less turnovers. Lamonte could take over 1-2 games with his shooting when healthy as well.

This year was a stretch to get to NCAA with him healthy. Right now should look at getting experience for the freshmen and look to next year.

If if's and but's and all that but with Grant, Bone, Turner (at full strength) still with us we are undefeated and would be a favorite to be a final four team. What could have been.

Bone would have made such a huge difference. Turner and Bowden in their natural roles.

What’s bone up to these days?

He may never say it publicly, but he probably wished he stayed for this year. If he had, as bad as college hoops is this year, he would’ve been “elite” and possibly best PG in country, which would’ve likely put him up in 1st round!!! .....instead, well, ya know...hope he makes it eventually

Looks like he's up to 6'-3"

Pistons' Jordan Bone: Leads way in win
Detroit Pistons could sign Jordan Bone or Louis King to multi-year deal

From these articles, looks like he is doing well and made the right decision.

Bone will never reach his potential in Detroit, needs to move somewhere else away from that now terrible organization, coaching staff and roster. He’s only been “up” on Pistons roster for 10 games, avg 5 min and 1.2pts. All other time in GLeague....

I say 5, and these are the 5 Ws:

Florida State (LT scored 20 against FSU, BUT he shot 4-14, including going 1-4 from 3. And we lost by only 3.)
Memphis
Georgia (My biggest reach - they handled us by 17, but with a healthy LT we would have been much calmer and maybe Bowden (0-5 from 3) would've never slumped so bad)
Texas A&M
South Carolina 2

Other candidates to get that 5th win:

Kansas, (6 point game)
AU (7 point game, mostly due to fouling late)

So right now we would be sitting at 20-8 with 3 games to go, comfortably in the tournament, and basically playing for a higher seed with these last 3 games (and we might be favored in the 2 home games).

Now that we know what we know, where do you see us stacking up if LT had been totally good to go all season?

He was also one of our best ball handlers.

And he was also a big part of the turnover problem that somehow still exists this late in the season. In 5 on his 11 games played this year he had at least 5 TOs and one game had 8. I can excuse all the missed shots for him being injured but the turnovers are just bad decisions. Just because you have good assist numbers doesn’t make you a good ball handler. It’s about decision making, and we all know Turner didn’t make the best decisions. Take the LSU game last year, he jacked up a three with time still left on the clock and clanked it and Grant ends up getting a cheap foul, game over. I loved his determination and he was clutch sometimes, like at Kentucky a couple years ago and against VCU this year, but he also made as many, if not more, head scratching plays.

No one can possibly know. We may have won games we lost or lost games we won. You can't automatically assume that every outcome would have been positive.

How many angels can you fit on the head of a pin? These kinds of questions are so pointless with no way to prove or disprove any of this speculation.

The incessant grasping at straws.

A bad team is a bad team.

A dismal team and roster in Barnes' fifth year.
