On this team, we cannot have a guy putting in 37 minutes and have 1...ONE...rebound. One this team, as constructed, we have to have everyone rebounding. We can’t afford to have a 6’9” guy out there rebounding at a lower rate per minute than Seth Curry. Curry has the same amount of rebounds as Jackson while playing 5 less minutes per game.
Just can’t see it. I’d rather have Dodo even with the shooting woes because he defends about as well, but is a good rebounder, especially on the offensive end at the 3.
DFS is a better defender I think. But it's hard to draw hard conclusions (about rebounding in this case) from a preseason game.
You mean two preseason games...
Last season, he rebounded at the same rate per 36 minutes as Barea. 4.5 rebounds per 36. For comparison, Luka is nearly 9 and DFS is 7.
Yes, hard to draw hard conclusions based on 2 preseason games. But it's much easier to draw conclusions based on a whole season. And he is down among the short guys in rebounds per 36 minutes. And it looks like that 4.5 per 36 is what he did his rookie year as well. It's not that surprising though. He seems to be almost all finesse, with not much physicality.
