Doubling his 4pg he had each of the last two years. simple case of small sample size? or has he bulked up or worked on his rebounding in the offseason? Maybe due to positioning where Skiles has him on defense? I noticed that his ORPG have stayed relatively flat whereas his defensive rebounds have increased tremendously.

With Vucevic making an effort to be in proper help position and challenge shots this season, gang rebounding has been a point of emphasis. Few players have as big a will as Oladipo, so he's been able to have success crashing the boards. I do expect it to dip some as the season goes on though.

It's hard to see him keeping up at his pace, but he is definitely being more aggressive on the boards. Probably Skiles coaching.

Skiles did mention that he wants Vooch to be more aggressive on defense so he asked the rest of the team to crash the boards more to help out in that respect.
