Rebounding wings are looking to be the next major scarcity in the NBA Market, good wings in general are hard to find and extremely valuable and rebounding wings are even more rare. Rebounding is so often an afterthought, it’s not sexy or exciting and there’s rarely rebounding highlights.
Attempting to understand a potion less game in such mathematical terms can be incredible difficult if not counterproductive altogether. But with big men shooting more and getting back on defense the ability for a wing to get a rebound and run the floor becomes an elite skill.
LeBron James is the obvious example of this as a wing who is phenomenal at getting boards and pushing the break or passing it over the defense to a teammate rolling to the hoop. Another player who is great at this Luka Doncic, similar in some ways to LeBron minus the athleticism is Luka who is averaging 28.5, 10.7 and 9 which are absolutely insane number for anyone let alone a 20 year old.
