Despite his individual rebounding numbers the Mavs are getting destroyed on the boards. And it´s not like the Mavs are worse when he isn´t playing. Current on/off for team rebounding percentage is exactly 0.0.
Having a great boxout guy would help, but actually having good rebounders at other positions would help a lot more and we don't have that. That said it's not why we are losing, we were trash at rebounding all last year and made the WCF. Rebounding doesn't hurt us as much as it might other teams because of the glacial pace we play at. But we can't afford to also be a trash defensive team, 22nd ranked won't cut it.
