There is a reason why the top players in the NBA do not play 48 minutes per game night in and night out.
Though average NBA teams play their starters much more per week then we can in BB. Here's the top 5 in total minutes for the Lakers during 08-09 last year:
NAME..........gm/wk.. mn/wk..mn/gm
Kobe Bryant....3.4.....123.3....36.1
Pau Gasol .......3.4......125.0....37.0
Lamar Odom....3.3......96.5......29.7
Derek Fisher....3.4.....101.7....29.8
Trevor Ariza....3.4......83.3.....24.4
gm/wk = games per week
mn/wk = minutes per week
mn/gm = minutes per game
The games per week is pretty close to the 3 we have in BB. As you can see, the Lakers played their players much more per week then you can do in BB.
I'm not saying this is poor game design, but it is different from the reality of most professional team.
