Couple other thing to consider with the playing folks 38 minutes a game/
Temple strategy. Guys get nagging injuries like Darrell Davis and his thumb this year and play through them all the time. If you're riding someone major minutes every night it makes harder to get over a nagging injury in your legs like an ankle.
If you get a starter seriously hurt because they're playing garbage time minutes in a blowout that's asinine.
In theory if this is a healthy program you're able to keep the freshman on bench on give them minutes off the bench to develop them instead having to throw people into the fire.
