UNEARNED REBOUNDS (2019 – 2020)

NOW I AM NOT SAYING THAT THESE PLAYERS ARE STAT PADDING. BUT LET THIS BE KNOWN , NOT ALL REBOUNDS ARE CONTESTED. CHECKING FOR A PLAYERS RPG (REBOUNDING PER GAME) CAN BE MISLEADING IF YOU DON’T PAY ATTENTION.

TO QUALIFY ALL PLAYERS MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 7 REBOUNDS PER GAME.

MATH TIME:

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THEIR TRUE REBOUNDING STATS DIVIDE THE PERCENTAGE INTO THE RPG. THEN SUBTRACT THAT NUMBER INTO THE RPG. THEN YOU WILL GET THEIR TRUE REBOUNDING STATS! YOU WILL BE SURPRISED HOW SOME PLAYERS REBOUNDING STATS DROP DRASTICALLY!

BUT YOU MAY ASK YOURSELF , WHY DO THEIR TEAMMATES ALLOW THESE PLAYERS TO GRAB UNCONTESTED REBOUNDS?

SIMPLE:

IT USUALLY BY DESIGN. TEAMS ALLOW THEIR BEST PLAYMAKER OR DECISION MAKER ON THE COURT TO GRAB THOSE UNCONTESTED REBOUNDS SO THAT CAN THEIR TEAM CAN INITIATE EARLY OFFENSE.
