Crashing the Boards

I absolutely agree. Size & strength are important when it comes to rebounding. But there is no substitute for desire & effort. So many times we see Nika battle amongst the trees to pull down improbable rebounds. All her teammates see that as well and that has to motivate them to do the same.

Good players pay attention when shots are taken, and anticipate where the rebound will go. Sabrina Ionescu is less than 6 feet, but still averaged 7 rebounds last season.
