So where are we bad at rebounding?
If you look at the per-30-Min stats for our guys, the 4 Forwards are at:
For the group the average is 6.0.
7.9 Theiro
7.9 Burks
5.2 Mitchell
4.7 Edwards
4.6 Bradshaw (but just 13min in 1 gm is NOT enough of a sample size to make any assessment)
These all look low, well at least Mitchell and Edwards are low, Burks and Theiro are ok. Now on the offensive boards it is reasonable to say Mitchell or Edwards is low because they spend most of their time outside the 3pt line. But that's not the case on defense, where generally 80% of your rebounds usually come from.
Almost all of the guards seem to be doing their part, actually more than, they are doing really well rebounding:
For the group the average is 4.4.
5.7 Dillingham
5.1 Sheppard
4.5 Reeves
2.1 Wagner
So how do these compare to past players, say the past 5 years where more offenses are playing 4 & 5 "out" taking our PF or C defenders away from the glass?
Forwards & Centers:
14.3 & 12.2 Oscar (outlier)
11.5 Onyenso
9.6 Jackson
8.3 & 7.9 Richards
8.2 & 7.1 Collins
8.1 & 6.7 Montgomery
7.7 PJ
7.5 Travis
7.4 & 9.0 & 6.0 Ware
6.5 Hopkins
6.3 & 8.6 & 5.4 Brooks
6.2 & 5.4 & 6.5 Toppin
6.2 Sarr
5.7 Sestina
For the group the median is 7.45, and the approximate average is 7.8. So, our current guys are under-rebounding by 1.4-1.8 per player per 30 minutes.
Guards:
5.8 Theiro
5.7 Johnson
5.6 Livingston
4.7 Juzang
4.6 & 3.5 Hagans
4.4 Boston
4.1 Herro
3.7 Maxey
3.5 Wallace
3.5 Tyty
3.3 Allen
3.1 & 2.6 Mintz
3.0 Askew
2.5 & 2.4 Wheeler
2.3 Reeves
1.9 & 3.8 Quickley
1.9 Grady
1.1 Fredrick
For the group the median is 3.5, and the approximate average is 3.5. So, our current guards are over-rebounding by 0.9 per player per 30 minutes. Which is good, but not enough to make up for the Forwards shortfall.
Now the past couple of years, I think the rebounding was lower for all but 1 player, because I believe the rest of the team thought/knew "Oscar will get it". And that is why you are seeing much better numbers from our guards this year.
