[QUOTE="MC06, post: 1566243, member: 639089"] I’ve come to believe that size is not a good predictor of rebounding ability. While it helps to be taller and stronger than others going for the same ball, I think anticipation, quickness, timing and desire are much more important factors. System can also play a role. Perhaps Miller has been coached to get down the court quickly to look for transition 3 opportunities, while Curbelo has been coached to stay closer to the defensive basket to get the pass from the rebounder.
