Durant averaging only 0.7 ORPG

[Nikola_]

6 5 lance grabbing more than him:biggums:

Worst orpg/drpg ratio among players who average more than 7 RPG.

Dead last in grabbing contested rebounds in general (http://stats.nba.com/playerTrackingRebounding.html?pageNo=1&rowsPerPage=25&sortField=REB_CONTESTED&sortOrder=ASC&filters=REB*GE*7**GP*GE*50)

Last playoffs 99 rebounds, 92 of them were defensive.

:durantunimpressed:

Do you consider this his weakness?

[SHABBA]

Whenever he gets within 10 feet of the basket, he gets given free throws :confusedshrug:

[BlackWhiteGreen]

His weakness is being a perimeter player? mmmkay

His team is joint 3rd in RPG and outrebounds other teams by 5 per game. You're limiting Durant in other areas if you ask him to rebound more

[dabigbaws]

who cares.

[Jlamb47]

Not really a weakness for him. he averages 7.7 rebounds witch is probably the best at his position. and hes a perimeter player that shoots alot of shots, not like hes by the rim alot.

[grantz]

0.7 ORPG?!!

Better trade him ASAP.

[maroonbells]

If a perimeter players only weakness is his offensive rebounding there isn't much to worry about
This lol. OP :facepalm

[Basketbolero]

Perimeter players' rebounding is vastly overrated in my opinion.

Ideally, they would block out their man and run the court to punish slow defensive balances with high percentage shots.

[red1]

who cares.

[sketchy]

Oh great, another Durant basher...
My god...

[DCL]

pretty hard to grab offensive boards when you're out 20-25ft.

[wally_world]

Ship his ass out

[Keno]

steals rebounds from ibaka on the defensive end, rebounds per game inflated because of it.

[eklip]

Teams don't send all 5 players for offensive rebounds. If three players go in the paint to grab offensive rebounds the transition defense will be horrible.

The Mavs do the same with Dirk. He is usually the first man back on defense and Marion + the center try to get the OREBs.

[SpecialQue]

Dude sucks.

He is good though, Miami should try to get him.

[Droid101]

They should probably waive him.

[All Net]

Seriously? He is a freaking small forward. Close to 8 boards a game for a SF is great.

Who wins? PJ Tucker leads SFs in offensive rebounding (He and Melo are tied, but PJ does it in 8 less minutes) AND I gave OKC a former #2 pick center.

I think this sends OKC over the top tbh.... No holes on that team anymore. Maybe they let Okafor expire and they can sign Melo to have the two best offensive rebounding SFs!!!!

:oldlol:

[Bandito]

Doesn't he plays more from the outside? How is he supposed to get rebounds from the perimeter?

[Milbuck]

Might as well pencil in San Antonio for the final again.

Shamelessly stacking the deck in OKC :coleman:
