DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[Kammrath]

Luka does not play the same minutes per game as MJ. MJ career average is around 38 minutes per game. In the playoffs that number was 40+. So essentially Jordan is seeing a the same usage rate as Luka with higher minutes per game. 

Luka is around 32 to 36 minutes per game. max in the playoffs. That is a huge difference. 

So Usage Rate is just that a "rate"....meaning that it is about percentage of available plays "while the player is on the court." So MJ playing more minutes does NOT increase his usage rate.
