oh, i didn't see the other comment to that. its not as much about tempo as just getting more out of your top players. i mean yeah, its good for fatigue levels if you are short handed or get in serious foul trouble, but when you already have the depth, its really about shifting minutes from your backups to your starters. the gap between starters and backups is big in almost all situations, so stamina is important in basically all situations. its more so the case when fatigue and foul trouble are particular concerns, but its at least always meaningful. in fb/fcp, stamina is possibly the single most important rating, a quality big given the option of +10 ath, +10 reb, or +10 sta, might actually want the +10 sta. depends on the situation i guess but still...
actually, to get away from theory-land, if i could add 10 points to 1 player on my kansas tark team, who run a 12 deep motion/press and are probably the title favorites, it would be 10 stamina to my starting SG, and i don't think anything else really comes close.
