The thing is, during the BG era, there was some brainwashing going on that no player should play more than 30-32 minutes a game (and his substitution patterns were consistent with that belief). Then, AM had the year of The Magnificent Seven, and that pretty much threw substitution patterns out the window. And finally, last year, AG had the option of playing more guys, but because of issues with in-game performance, bad practice habits, attitude, injury, immaturity, etc., he chose to use only about 2/3 of the available roster.

In many ways, it’s sort of a throwback to the Donoher era, when the best players (Paxson, Chapman, Johnny D, Smitty & Sly, etc.) would play 35+ minutes per game. Your best player at 80% is better than his sub at 100%, so you play your best players as much as you can.
