That's a pretty simple answer, if you are being honest.

If Michael Porter is legitimately healthy, that team certainly wins 6 more games in the regular season. It's not really debatable as 5 losses were 4 points or less. MPJ covers that. Hell, we had ku beaten in the first week or a complete program restart until MPJ got hurt and they ended up being a 1 seed.
4 more SEC wins wins the conference championship. With a 1 seed in the SEC, we surely win 1, probably 2 games in the SECT.
At that point, our record is very likely 28-5.
At 28-5 with a SEC title, we are possibly a 1 and absolutely at least a 2 in the NCAA with our best chance at a Sweet 16 in about a decade.
If that happens, it is inarguable that the following recruiting class would have been better by at least 1 player.
That, combined with a healthy Jontay in year two gets us at least 20 wins and things are quite different today.
Martin still is a mediocre coach, but he would have kept enough talent around to hide it better than he has.
