Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3379184, member: 1220"] I agree with Plebe on this issue. Pivec is not a good rebounder because she is good at posting up. When you are playing the guard position on both offense and defense you have little opportunity to post and if you do you are out of position. I was very curious as to how she got so many rebounds so I watched her carefully during her Sophmore season. She has a good nose for where the ball is going off of misses along with superior timing. She knows when to peel off her assignment and find the space to be where the missed shot will end up. You can not box that out. She does every now and then end up under the basket on shots, but that is not what separates her from other guards, they also end up there sometimes. With her it's not establishing position, but timing and knowing where the ball is going. When she is just posting up, she is not that much better than most players her size. She is not particularly long or capable of jumping, so posting up does not really work in her favor. She beats people to the ball in space- that's it. [/QUOTE]
