Its a nonsensical concept.
I often talk about starters, but I don't really give a rats arse who is standing where for the ball-up. When I talk about starters, I'm referring to the core players who play most of the minutes. Usually, you "start" a game with your best core players on court, hence the term "starters."
Redhage "started" a couple of games this season, but he's not a "starter."
I recall a game, I think it was last season, when Schensey was "started" purely for the tip-off, and then benched at the first opportunity, and played only maybe 15 minutes for the game. Is his "starting" a basis for defining his status as a player.
Put it another way, when its time for new contracts, who are you going to offer more money to? The guy who "started" more games, or the guy who averaged a lot more minutes, points, and rebounds?
