I don't think this past season is necessarily indicative of his future as a rebounder. Look at guys like Yao and Bogut. Both started off in the 8 RPG range and progressively moved up to become a double-digit rebounder. Who knows. Technique could improve, he could get stronger, etc. I think he'll at least become a 9.5 per game guy minimum.
Yeah, and his per40 #'s are really solid, above 11rpg.
