Here are the last 5 years of princes career (no 40 min games his rookie year)
3 reg season games of 40 plus mins no back to backs
24 reg season games of 40 plus mins including 3 sets of back to back
19 reg season games of 40 plus mins including 1 set of back to back
24 reg season games of 40 plus mins including 3 sets of back to back
11 reg season games of 40 plus mins including 1 set of back to back |
It doesn't matter how much less he is playing when he is still being over(trained)played.
It is a legitimate concern and whether or not he is overtrained to the tune of 1 minute or 5, he will still reap the consequences sooner or later.
Flip can get what Tayshaun brings from Jarvis or hermann, he just needs to play them. One game here or there in the loss column is not as important as a fresh Tayshaun come payoff time.
