    This team would be unstoppable if we had a point guard that can rebound double digits a game with a tenacious defense that can see the floor and shoot with some range. He doesn't even need to play... just be available.

    "amazing" rebounding for PGs and guards is overrated.

    It's ABSOLUTELY great if your guards can and DO do that when necessary.

    But for them to consistently be getting 7,8+ a game... probably means you have rebounding deficiencies elsewhere... imo.

    You know Westbrick is the only PG doing double digits rebounding........you dun want that.

    Harden and Paul are already Top 5 rebounding PGs.

    PGs get long rebounds, it's not their main job. I think getting 4-5 boards rpg is more than sufficient.

    Or essentially just Beverley, there are not many. Ben Simmons is an anomaly he isn't a pure PG and 6'10.

    Scratch the double digits.

    Sooo the main job of a center is not to hit 3s? Asking for a friend.

    Sure but I guess you will still see more Centers trying to shoot 3s.....they just have to practice them.

    Just as for today it is normal to employ thicker SFs and PFs as Centers.

    For a smaller guy to jump up and box out, that is a lot more to ask and taxing.

    Not everyone is built like a meat truck, James Harden or Chris Paul like. Not everyone has the nose for those boards.

    I mean I would like him back, but I'd much rather throw the whole mid-level to make sure we get an impact player. House needs to play really well against the warriors to offset his poor shooting thus far, besides .the last game
