If the Sixers are blocking out players so Simmons can rebound how is Embiid 6th in the league in RPG with 11, Saric averaging the same amount as Favors with 7 and Covington averaging 6?
Simmons is also top 20 in the NBA for three point shots contested per game.
They are a good rebounding team. That is what I mean. Rebounds are a product of the system and a team effort. The individual stat mean next to nothing. 76ers have him crash in for defense rebounds often, they have other wing players run. Its not that he is a bad rebounder, but its nothing special. Simmons is a great player, just not on the same level as Mitchell as a rookie.
