I'm just saying that being top 50 means that you may be the second, if not the third best rebounder on your team. I guessr he qualitative evaluation of this statement is in the eye of the beholder, though your clustering argument makes sense.
Not to me. Neither Perkins or Amir Johnson are 'good' rebounders. If 4 rebounds a game is considered good what the heck is bad?
Save your minutes per rebound stat because if that really meant anything he would play 35 min and average 50 rebounds a game, fyi. He's a below average NBA player that lucked out that no one wants to play in Canada.
You do understand why using rebound rate is important to judge the quality of a player's rebounding ability right? If you go just by rebounds per game you let pace and minutes distort the players true skill.
If you play in an uptempo system with more shots there are naturally more rebounds to grab.
I'd still like to hear your critera for a rebounder, and an explanation why Perkins isn't one.
Is Glen Davis one?
