Rebounding

[ucp990411]

Has anyone else noticed how poor we are at boxing out. In particular Akok and Polley. I will get some push back on this because we out rebound opponents but that is because of AJ and Tyrese, a 2 and and a 3. The fact that our 4's and 5's don't rebound very well limits our fast break opportunities.

No push back from me. I agree with your assessment.

Getting Sanogo back will help here

The only part I'll disagree with is it limiting our fast break opportunities. We're not a good traditional box out and rebounding team, we just rely on Jackson outjumping everyone. But I think Hurley has done a good job of coaching the team up here in that RJ and Polley go up the floor for the transition 3 after Jackson pushes the ball up the court, instead of the PG waiting back for the outlet pass

If Tyrese could actually make a layup or point blank shot. His offensive rebounds would go way down... It seems most of his offensive rebounds our his own missed shots. And sometime multiple times on the same possession.

When you attempt to block shots your rebounding suffers. Always has. Akok had a terrible game, move on.

Honestly, I remember thinking this in the 90's to. Pretty much up until we had Emeka + Boone. Voshkul was pretty good about boxing out though.

Loved Voskul, valuable component and somewhat forgotten but w/o him win don't have a championship and those Big East titles.

Hilarious response to a really stupid question.

absolutely agree

I said in another thread about someone criticizing Adama’s rebounding that I’m less worried about the count & more about how he rebounds in his space.

We to this point rebound by “out athleting” other teams. Nothing fundamental about it
