Can I ask how many minutes do real BB players play in a week..

Understanding they have more games so as a percentage would you get someone start all games? or every other game?


I think it all depends on the league. In the NBA, starter might play 3 * 42 minutes = 126 minutes / week. In college, starter might play 2 * 35 = 70 minutes / week.

But BB has other considerations that just realism. You need the proper game play too...

Cheers - I totally understand - just wanted to put it into perspective - I would imagine that 99% of players have equivalent of Prominent stamina so there is a good argument for our players not playing much at all in the lower stamina levels.

So how many hours does a the dedicated gym rat or kid play hoops down at the park or the local YMCA/B&GC?

7 * 120 = 840 minutes / week (maybe more)
