    Here is his full rebounding stats:

    In two seasons below, he averaged more offensive than defensive rebounds.

    What was amazing is that he was 6'4"/6'5" 185 pounds guard/forward but has a knack for offensive rebounding. Somehow, he will sneak and tip it in and most of his offensive rebounds were converted to baskets.

    Year Team ORB DRB TOT
    83-84 CHI 138 190 328

    84-85 HOU 110 125 235

    85-86 HOU 87 72 159

    86-87 HOU 74 59 133

    89-90 HOU 133 153 286

    91-92 PHI 43 51 94

    6 Yrs Total 585 650 1235

    Sorry guys. After further research, with minimum of 500 career offensive boards, I found a player who topped Wiggins.

    The player is 6'5" 196 pounds G/F Ruben Patterson.

    OFF DEF TOT
    573 571 1,144 100.3%

    Nonetheless, Wiggs was great offensive rebounder for his size and position.

    The ratio that I was referring to, is OR/DR which is about 100%.

    The 50% is OR/TR.

    So basically.....

    Either Wiggins was a tip-in-machine,

    or the guy just didn't go for defensive rebound or it could mean....

    that his teammates shot a lot worse then the opposing team.

    I'm not so sure that this is a stat that means anything.....

    Yes Wiggins was a tip-in machine. You have to see him to appreciate him. It was my admiration of Wiggins that made me look up this statistic, not the other way around.

    This was a trivia question. It does not have to be a big stat that means a lot, but an indication who has natural ability for offensive boards.

    It is:

    For some reason, the adminstrator of Clutchcity.net will not allow the site name to be seen.

    However, this stats are for years 1949-1997.
