Great analysis… another way to look at it could be in terms of # players in the rotation.
(All years = season end)
2022
Players with >10/mpg & high # of games = 7
Players with >10/mpg & med # of games = 1 (Hillard 18)
Players with >10/mpg & low # of games = 1 (Luehring 7)
Players with <10/mpg & high # of games = 0
Players with <10/mpg & med # of games = 2 (about 1/2 of games played)
2023
>10/mpg & high # of games = 8
>10/mpg & low # of games = 2 (Hillard 7, Douglass 5)
<10/mpg & high # of games = 1 (Porter 27)
<10/mpg & med # of games = 1 (Krahn 16)
2024
>10/mpg & high # of games = 8
>10/mpg & low # of games = 0
<10/mpg & high # of games = 1 (Grady 25)
<10/mpg & med # of games = 1* (Patibandla 18)
* 2 more players a bit short of 1/2 games played cut (Krahn, Jones)
2025
>10/mpg & high # of games = 9
>10/mpg & low # of games = 0
<10/mpg & high # of games = 0
<10/mpg & med # of games = 1 (Bisballe)
* 1 more players a bit short of 1/2 games played cut (Grzesk)
I think this focuses a bit more on how deep MM likes to play the bench. Depending on the year & roster, those at the back end may be first-year players or maybe not. Coach M pretty consistently plays 8-9 in regular rotation with another 1-2 bench players appearing in about 1/2 of games, averaging a small number of minutes.
