Brook Lopez and Rebounding
Those not familiar with Brook Lopez needs realize his rebounding style is not what this team is used to.
Brooks has never been known as a rebounding beast. But he's consistently been the best in the league at boxing out other bigs so that his teammates can grab the board and push the pace. He's literally the opposite type of center of Zu and Yanic. Ty needs to realize that and have Collins and either DJJ or Kawhi jump in for the board as Brook boxes out or tips the ball out. This will take time to build chemistry; just wish they had more games before playoffs start. You can tell the team's too used to Zu or Yanic getting all the boards.
There's a reason he never averaged over 6rpg yet Giannis and Portis had high rebound numbers.
Sadly as much as I like Brook for his 3 shot. He just isn't the right fit to be starter for our lineup. But it's what we have for this season so Ty gotta make it work.
