I tried using it and it has its fair share of problems. If a franchise player is injured for much of the season, they'll show up with a lightly colored bar because this page assumes all players played all 82 games. It also seems to have problems when players are traded mid-season. For instance look at Deron Williams for both the Cavs and the Mavs, or DeMarcus Cousins on the Kings/Pelicans.

In a perfect world where no one gets injured or misses games, it's perfect.

EDIT: It also breaks down when accounting for garbage time. Look at the Warriors example in the image. If rotations were created strictly based on that chart, Ian Clark and Patrick McCaw would almost be guaranteed to be in the lineup at the end of games. But we know the chart looks that way because the Warriors tended to blow opposing teams out. So its really more of a guideline, than a strict one-to-one way to set the rotation charts.
