at Draymond up there with all those 7ftersIt's well over due, but we really need to stop using defensive rebounds and start using defensive contested rebounds.

Look at Westbrook though.

Big Drum ate his food when they played though
Westbrook is the best rebounding guard purely off ability, but we shouldn't be counting most of his boards - same applies to everybody else. Past the whole 'he hunts for rebounds instead of playing defense' thing, I can understand dudes saying that he grabs them to initiate the fastbreak, but there's a few things wrong with that. i) You don't need to actually grab the rebound to start the fastbreak, you can position yourself to receive a pass nearby (Nash used to do this all the time) or you can run down the court and position yourself to open up the floor ii) The actual uncontested rebound itself isn't tied to running the fastbreak - therefore it's impact on the play/game is near meaningless.Look at Westbrook though.
Same thing for assists, it should only go to a player if they actively create a scoring opportunity for their teammate (it doesn't have to be the last or second last person who passed the ball, it can be the one setting the screen or the person that is weaving around the halfcourt distracting players and allowing somebody else to get open) - otherwise you just put them down as team assists.
I mean I've been talking about this shyt for years now but
