Part of it is poor technique, part of it is just not being strong enough yet, but I think the biggest reason is that he is just too passive. I've watched plenty of Beasley and he is all too happy to run back to the offensive end if there is another teammate there to grab the board for him. An attitude like that will never grab 10 boards a night.
However, there were similar concerns last season regarding going up strong around the basket and he's already matched his dunk total from last year so that is a good sign. Now it just needs to be carried over to the rebounding aspect of his game.
Another reason is that he is 6'7" and is a tweener.
