I could see why you might think that. Logically, more opportunities to play versus lesser quality opponents is going to skew/inflate your stat right? These stat categories weigh and adjust for pace of play (quality of opponent) and player opportunity (time in the lineup).
So, Young's 5 minutes vs Duke, effectively, are measured the same as his 5 minutes vs New Hampshire. Which would hold true for the other players (bench or starters). Everyone's baseline is the same.
