UConn gained a major asset to its bench on Tuesday night against UMass Lowell as the previously-suspended Sidney Wilson returned to the Huskies. Wilson, a consensus top 100 recruit in the class of 2017, only played five minutes and didn’t record many stats in his debut college appearance.
However, basketball is a sport where basic stats can’t tell you everything. I watched all of Wilson’s minutes, focusing on him only, to figure out where he stands with the team right now, and where he might be for the rest of the season. Here’s a selection of a few possessions that I think illustrate something about Wilson—either current ability or potential—and his fit with this iteration of the Huskies.
