Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4692699, member: 11664"] There should be a benefit to the bench players to be given a chance to play, especially earlier in the season. To not play them (or play them often enough) could affect their confidence & their psyche. And if the starters can't score enough points to allow the bench to get into the game then maybe the question to ask is if it's because the starters aren't executing well enough, or the players getting PT don't play well enough together. Sometimes the bench players can make things look easy because they don't have the pressure of being starters. I recall reading that the NET rankings don't reward teams with extra rank points after they win by 10 or 12 points. So huge blowouts don't really mean anything except for maybe the AP rankings. which doesn't account for much. [/QUOTE]
