My mind keeps coming back to Luke, trying to figure out why he's not a better defensive rebounder.
He let Henry have all the easy ones.

Wojo never worked with Okafor.  He was already here.

Luke had almost as many offensive rebounds (100) as defensive (103) last year. With more experience and strength, I think he has the potential to improve his defensive rebounding. Obviously, that should be a big part of his focus this summer.


Our defensive rebounding strategy was to have Luke clear out for whoever was playing the 3 and 4 positions.  It wasn't his job to get the rebound but to take away the other teams rebounder.  That is why he had low defensive rebounding stats but high offensive rebounding.

Henry was a big beneficiary of Luke's clearing out. 

Bottom line is Luke is a much better rebounder than his stats last year say; and Henry was not as good a rebounder as his stats indicate. 

We won't be a great rebounding team next year, but we'll be fine.  I expect a big rebounding year from JJJ and figure Luke (depending on team strategy) may likely average a double double.

I am in the camp of those who say part of the reason Luke wasn't a better defensive rebounder was he had to slide over often to help when an offensive player drove past our guards.

If our guards and wings do a better job of keeping their men in front of them, it will add a few rebounds per game to Luke's total.

Easier said than done, of course.
