A weird stat for all those late-first-second rounder guards/wings that turn into go-to options in the league after being projected as role players - rebounding... Jimmy Butler, Kris Middleton, Desmond Bane... all had high rebounding numbers - over 6-7 rbs per 40...
Saw someone mention that with Podz. It makes sense to me. 1) Rebounding reflects some degree of functional athleticism + hustle + intelligence 2) rebounding is just overrated in general for defense. Many times a player is a net positive/negative on defense just on the basis of rebounding.
