There are two categories up there Reb and OR. I wanted Putback for the label where OR is because it is for the shooting immediately after an offensive board.

Houston is #1 in Reb offense category and Total. 11th in defensive rebounding net points.

KP essentially right.

Under Reb,

Wow. Are you reading my mind? I was working on something similar.

I did mine a different way - accounting for not only the difference, but one side being very negative.

Good stuff.

0.1 WAR in that time. Definitely better this year than last year, though.

Russ' value starting this year is the highest it's been and about +1.4 of that is rebounding, as opposed to +0.4 last year. Haven't studied yet for teammate interaction effects at this point.

Per GeniusIQ, best guard rebounding percentages last 10 yrs:
- Amen Thompson
- Ausar Thompson
- Giddey
- Hart
- Jus Champagnie
- Russ

Not sure the Thompson twins are guards.

The work behind dividing credit is a combination of what Second Spectrum did 10+ years ago on rebounding - positioning, attack, convert - and some of the stuff I posted. But I think the _team_ positioning is key to devaluing uncontested rebs. If the chc for a reb was already 90%, that is a factor.
