The bench players always have their rhythm messed up, and they are not effective as well. Lowering the starters minutes 5 mpg will solve that problem.
As for the starters rhythm. I am not saying that you have them out their for 5 minutes and then you sub them out. They will play consistent minutes still.
In your scenario the starters play 35-40 mpg, and in mine they play 25-30 mpg. I made this point before that out of that 35-40 minutes the starters are not playing to their full ability for 5-10 minutes because of fatigue. Those 5-10 minutes is the difference of our 2 scenarios, so in both cases the starters play 25-30 minutes of "energized basketball". (35-10=25, 40-10=30) The difference is that in my scenario the rest of the minutes are strongly utilized by the bench, while in your scenario some are utilized by the bench yet some are not used to their full ability by the starters.
