Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 5204135, member: 175"] The problem with us rebounding is that Johnson is not a good rebounding five. The stats don’t lie. He is what he is. So the best remedy for that would be to have a bulldog rebounder at the 4. Which we don’t. AK was perfectly good there next to Sanogo or Clingan. Or AK/Johnson worked for small stretches last year, with Newton and Castle being good defensive rebounders from the backcourt. Now it’s a problem. McNeeley does a good job, but we rebound poorly for our position at the 1,2,4 and 5. Whereas last year it was really only the 4 and that wasn’t even noticeable because AK would grab his four or five per game and that was all we needed. Now we get 8 per game from our starting 4 and 5 and it’s harder to mask. Not only do we struggle with the defensive glass in key spots … we don’t get many putbacks for cheap points when our offense goes into dry spells. [/QUOTE]
