Not really, the game has changed, Mikal is a point of attack defender, means he’s generally the furthest away from the rim. 30 years ago all the offensive players might have crashed the glass, but nowadays it’s generally 1 or 2 at most.The Bobster wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:06 pmRebounding is everybody's job, expecially since they don't have a real PF.Split T wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:03 pmRebounding isn’t his job
Are there times when we need Mikal to rebound? Sure, when the team is getting killed on the boards you might need to change things up, but generally speaking we don’t pay Mikal to do that. We want him defending the point of attack and getting out in transition. He could have hung out near the rim and snagged a few cheap rebounds, but that wouldn’t have changed anything. If anything it would have had a negative impact.
