Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 3999232, member: 9844"] For the same reason the minutes per game will not add up to 200 (40x5). In games that are in doubt I suspect the norm will be 4 players with DNP Coach's Decision. That is assuming Geno uses a full second unit and a rotation of 10 in competitive games. If anything it is probably more likely he uses less than more than 10. Also the minutes per game are affected by injuries, with players down the rotation getting more minutes per game until that player returns. What really matters is how many minutes players get against ranked teams. If Geno is not willing to play you in those contests, then you are unlikely to have any impact on the team's ultimate record, because those are the only games where the outcome is in doubt. The rotation for expected easy wins might be one or two bigger than that, and if you can't crack the top ten, the last four will probably only see mop up minutes in the fourth quarter of blowouts. That will be difficult because there is lots of talent even on the third string, but it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
