I know a guard that is averaging 0.5 rebounds less over their career, and are tied this season from that same draft class.

I don't think he would have been drafted as high. Creighton's offensive scheme under McDermott has never had a one man show, not sure he would have worked out there.

Not sure if that guard is supposed to be Morant, but Morant has not averaged only .5 less rebounds than Zion over his career.

Pels don't need rebounding, they use as a strategy/scheme Zion leaking out more to get out on the break, have done so for his past 2 seasons since they already have an elite rebounder on the team.



Also...we're discussing rebounding :lol:

Only because Billy brought it up. But Zion career rebounds is at 6.9 and Ja is at 6.4. at least that's what it says when I Google both players

I was not referring to how good he would be, I was referring to how much you talk about both and combining the two.

I started watching Morant his last year in college and became a fan. I didn't watch NBA for years because it was boring to me and I had nobody to sit my ass in the seat as a must watch guy. That's why I'm a fan of Memphis. But born and raised in Omaha and then moved away for 24 years but never claimed to be from anywhere but Omaha
