I'm correct that as long as a player has 48+ minutes it is all the same? It does not help a player to get 80 minutes as opposed to a player who only gets the 48?

Maybe I've been doing it wrong. Each scrimmage, I look at players who have 48+ minutes and I automatically sit them to get someone else minutes. But most weeks I will have 4 or 5 players with 48+ minutes training. Any advantage or disadvantate to this? What is the correct way, or most effective way, to get my guys where I want them to be?

Also, maybe it is just me, but I did some studying, both of my team and other teams, and it appeared to me that to train a well-performaing PG at SG during a scrimmage, and then putting him back at PG to start the next game, always leads to a drop in production. For example, Player X is a PG who averages 20 points and 6 assists per game, both among the league leaders, and he is used at SG for a scrimmage. The very next regular season game, his stats will be down across the board, pretty drastically in some cases. Anyone else ever noticed this? Or am I just crazy?

A player who gets 80 training minutes gets the same amount of training as one who plays a full 48. I would suggest not letting your players play 80 minutes, it's not good for game shape.

To answer your last question, playing a player in a different position will NOT affect his performance in other games. But overplaying a player during a week could cause to a drop in game shape, which does affect how he plays in the following week.
