They're actually developing a statistic to track how well a player gets contested rebounds (http://www.82games.com/rebounds.htm) and I'm willing to bet these statistics will reflect how poor Moore is in this area.


Listen we all know Moore isn't a good rebounder. But he is BETTER then Davis. Some basketball statistics might be sketchy but rebound rate isn't one of them.

If you want to claim that BBD is some super box out monster - prove it. You "think" that some statistic might prove this. The rest of our guys should have out of this world numbers when he is on the floor. Of course they do not.

Powe > Moore > Davis with regards to rebounding. Moore is simply taller and gets his hands on more balls because of his length. Davis SHOULD be able to make his size work for him like a Danny Fortson but he does not. Powe is shorter then Moore and smaller then Davis. But he KNOWS HOW TO REBOUND. Thus he gets more boards. Also he can get off the ground and has long arms - both of which help too.

Just checking 82games, they have a statistic for team rebounding on/off court. Baby is -0.6%. Moore is -4.4%. I don't know how much stock you can put in these stats, but they show how much the team struggles to rebound when Moore is on the floor. While Baby isn't a good rebounder, the team is almost even. In comparison, Powe has a +3.5%, Perk +0.7%, KG -0.3%.

I've always disliked Mikki Moore of course he can't rebound yet he has length. He can stand and make the little 8 to 12 foor jumper, but outside of that he's limited. True Scrub.

So if Baby is so good at boxing out shouldn't this be a POSTIVE number? Let's face it both are awful rebounders with Moore SLIGHTLY better.

I've noticed that Mikki doesn't try to grab the rebound a lot of times, he'll get one hand on the ball and spike it off from the backboard in hopes that someone else will grab it. I don't know if that helps or hurts his rebounding stats, or even if it helps the team overall.

There you go again, talking about weight when it has nothing to do with the topic. unbelievable.


You think bodyweight has nothing to do with rebounding? Learn to play..


I think positioning, footwork, and perserverence have more to do with it than obsessing on weight.
Learn anything, and it will ease your focus on weight.

So BBD doesn't have learning, footwork or perserverance then? <g> Anyway you slice it he is not a good rebounder and either is Moore.

I guess Mikki Moore is too fat too to rebound.
