vancem, you shouldn't use the word "weak" when discussing rebounding (at any position) on my wilt team. moncrief and frazier both board well for their positions as do reed and wilt. i admit i could've found a stronger board man at the no. 3, but not one with 30% usg, 210 three's made and decent defense. certainly not in the 5th round. but thanks anyway for your thoughts.
final team boards: 5323
Total rebounds is a skewed number, especially in a league with players from different eras. 2011-12 Kevin Love and 14-15 DeAndre Jordan, two of the best boarders in the modern NBA, grabbed 1112 and 1226 boards, respectively. Wilt on his freak show season pulled down 1982. A far better stat to quote would be oreb% and dreb%. I know you probably know this, but people using skewed data really ticks me off.
