"I count 16 major-conference players in the top 100 in defensive rebounding rate, but none is as short as the 6-foot-6 Hayward."
Hmm, do you think that he will even be given serious consideration? I wish that I could discern the impact of the team's performance in the voting. Who votes? Writers? Coaches?

I wonder if that last stat is skewed slightly. Here's what I mean. Because Hayward is the tallest guy on the team (or maybe off by an inch to Butler), he has no one else really grabbing rebounds away from him. More opportunities I guess is a way of phrasing that.
Nevertheless, he's a man among boys out there. Love Lazar.
