Hey everyone! A development that I think is really interesting with this year's team is that the minutes seem to be more spread out than in years past. For your consideration here is what our highest 'minutes per game' players were after 3 games last year (MPG over the full 2015-2016 season are in parentheses).

Trevor Cooney - 38.3 (36.4)
Michael Gbinije - 33.7 (37.9)
Malachi Richardson - 32.3 (34.4)
[LEFT]Tyler Lydon - 31.3 (30.3)[/LEFT]
Tyler Roberson - 29 (30.8)
Dajuan Coleman - 12.3 (17.5)
Kaleb Joseph - 8.7 (6.7)
Frank Howard - 7.3 (10.5)
Chinoso Obokoh - 7.0 (6.1)

And here is how the minutes have been distributed so far this year through 3 games

Andrew White III - 30.0
Tyler Lydon - 27.3
Tyler Roberson - 25.0
Tyus Battle - 22.3
Frank Howard - 21.6
John Gillon - 20.0
Pascal Chukwu - 16.3
Taurean Thompson - 16.3
Dajuan Coleman - 14.0

Dajuan Coleman has the 9th most MPG on this team, and his total MPG is up from last year at this point when he had the 6th most MPG on the team. Additionally, Andrew White is the only player on this year's team who is averaging 30 MPG so far, and last year that would've made him the 5th most played player after 3 games.

It should be noted that one reason for why the minute allotment this year would be lower is due to walkons, who didn't appear in any of the first 3 games last year.

The discussion that I'd like to see is whether these numbers are representative of us blowing teams out in every game so far, or if this year's team is going to spread out the minute more than we're accustomed to because our depth is better.
