Kind of unexpected Deron having career season in rebounds

[Yung D-Will]

He currently Averages 4.5 per game

Yeah it is. I kinda like it, since it can help get the ball up court safer and faster to preserve time on the shot clock.

Plus, there is the possible fast break points. With Miles back in the lineup, I would like to see more fast break points, too.

Someone has to step up when you have a pathetic rebounding center. 6.6 a game WTF?

I don't call Okur a center lmao he's more like our oversized shooting guard.

But the improved rebounding definitely benefits the fast break

A SG that doesn't pass and can't handle the ball.

If we are going to criticize Okur, rebounding isn't the best choice. He is a crafty rebounder, especially on the offensive glass (and even more especially after free throws).

1. He doesn't finish around the rim.
2. He can't do anything to a cutting guard in the paint.
2a. He gives up too many and-ones to cutting guards in the paint.
3. He should be more consistent.
4. He lacks athletecism.

He is clutch.
He is a deadly mismatch for most teams.
He is a good post defender.

Last year the whole season Deron has 195 rebounds

23 games into the season he already has 100 rebounds

I found that interesting

It's a great choice. At his size his numbers are atrocious! Even Collins was a better offensive rebounder even if he couldn't out rebound Price at the other end. LMAO!

The numbers tell a far different story.

He is a deadly mismatch for most teams.

Mismatches go both ways is the problem. Does the other guy get the best of him at the other end? He's not usually on the winning end of the mismatches.

He is a good post defender.

He's willing to lean against someone unlike Boozer but does that keep them from going over and around him?

Sure sounds like a guy you lock up for over 10 mil a year. ROTFLMAO!

All of this seems to apply to last season not this season
