Rebounding - How Do We Improve?

[fishonjazz]

I mean I'd do it in a second. Thompson is solid and can finish on pick and roll... at his finest he gave the Warriors issues in the finals. He's also expiring, so clear some cap space. Please tell me why Cleveland would do it?

Cause Exum duh. Didn't you know he was a #5 pick and he is fast? He is also basically a senior (after a redshirt year and maybe a Mormon mission) in college (or maybe high school).

It would be like they were getting a top 5 pick!

I mean maybe if we gave them like $5M in cash and let Quicken loans refinance the arena and all of the Miller dealerships we could have a deal.

For a young, versatile “talent” in Exum?

If we can tape him together for 4-5 games maybe you can sell them on him being a great wingman for Garland and Sexton. Stranger things have happened... but we prolly need to all assume that Exum is a negative contract when considering his trade “value”. While he is young and versatile he also is Ded.

Garland, Sexton, Nance, Exum, Love, a super high 1st rounder in 2020. That’s a decent base.

Conley isn't a rebounding guard.

Neither was Rubio in that case if we compare their last seasons side by side.

Rubio 3.6, Conley 3.4 last season.

My comment wasn't created to say that Conley is a rebounding guard in any case. It's to point to the fact that his decision making, and general feel for the game is way off right now. Whether it's jumping up for a rebound way too soon, his loose handle at times, his poor shooting, and uncharacteristic high turnover games.

That little clip from Andy Larsen shows a player who is completely off rhythm with the game of basketball right now. Completely.

If Dante did six years in the military after high school, he’d still only be a college freshman. Cut him some slack.

Everyone boxes and the ball just lands on the court....

That is 100% false. Go back and watch the offensive rebounds given up the last few games. On the Harrison Barnes game winner 3 or 4 Jazz players were ball watching, nobody putting a body on a body, he flashes through for an easy putback. Jamychal Green had at least two of these same plays in the 4th last night in crowds of 3 or 4 Jazz players.

Love me some Bogey but he doesn't box out. Green doesn't box out enough. Niang doesn't. DM crashes for boards but doesn't box. Etc

No, it's a literal fact. There is more to rebounding than just boxing out. Someone actually has to track the ball and grab it.

 

[framer]

On your last sentence. That's what's so frustrating. I expected the defense to get worse. I expected rebounding problems.

But.... I also expected our offense to be hella Rudy dunks and/or lots of three point bombs and one of the best offenses in the NBA. Quin is supposedly an offensive genius and he has the right pieces to fit his offense (on paper anyway). Seem to have guys with the right attitude and work ethic. Yet the offense still has these 5-8 minute stretches where we can't get a basket.

Wtf? That's all I can really say. Well, maybe a smh too.

The schedule hasn't been too kind, and there hasn't been time to work on any of the things that need to be worked on since the start of the season. After the next two games, we get a few cupcakes and we spend consecutive days at home to get some practice time in and make adjustments. There is absolutely no reason to panic just yet.

If a team shoots a lot of 3 pointers on us they are automatically going to get offensive rebounds as the ball "clangs" off the rim and high over the head of even the most skilled players who are boxing out! Not much you can do when the shot "clangs" off the rim way over your head on a 3 point shot! However, close in offensive rebounds can be eliminated or at least minimized by boxing out properly!

 

[kabenac]

Rodman was great not only because he boxed out. His effort and anticipation for where the ball would go off the rim were unparalleled.

The point of the post was he's 6'7 and is a great rebounder, much like (as someone else mentioned) Barkley who was also undersized.
