Should I set his fatigue to "Tired" Topic

I feel like this guys should be playing more minutes. http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/PlayerProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=0&pid=2072195

Currently he is averaging 21.9 PPG in 23 MPG on 52.5% shooting. The most he has played in a game this year is 30 minutes. When looking at other top players (rating wise and scoring wise) they seem to be averaging closer to 30 mpg.

I want to make sure I am maximizing his impact as the team will only go as far as he carries them. Let me know what you think, I didn't know if setting him to "Tired" on the depth chart was a bad idea and I haven't really played with changing it from "fairly fresh"

Thanks in advance!

In my experience "tired" makes them more likely to get in foul trouble, so he might actually end up playing fewer minutes.  Even though I mostly use fairly fresh, I would definitely consider putting that guy on getting tired.  Especially since he looks way more talented than any of your other guards.

it's late to experiment, but I'd set him to Tired for a few regular season games and judge results from there on whether the foul issue is big enough to worry about. 

Getting Tired is a no-brainer minimum for that guy, though... Any extra minutes you can get him are worth it.

gvs, you have to throw out the average and look at what he's playing in close games. You've had a lot of blowouts, which keeps is avg minutes down. In close games, he's really playing 26-30 mins.

I'm not a fan of "tired". Experimenting is OK, but honestly, doing it for a few games is too small a sample size to give you any kind of reliable indication of effectiveness (or lack thereof).

tired has never worked for me.....only "FF" or "getting tired"....tired turns good players mediocre pretty quickly.
