Simulate team minutes by game for a season?

Post by tarrazu »

Is there a way to simulate a team's minutes by game for a season with known average minutes and games played for each player?

For example, I have an expectation that a player averages 34/min a game and plays in 60 games (while filling out the rest of the team's roster to equal 240 team mins @ 82 games). Could you set up code to simulate a team's minutes by game over the course of a season, while fulfilling the constraints of all known player minute averages and games played?

Said player appears in 60 games, but can play 30-38 min to depending on game to fit 240 team minutes while still fulfilling the requirements of their 34 minute average and 60 games played?
