A Model for Offensive Rebounding Rates
A few months ago I took my first look at trying to neutralize rebounding rates. Since that time I’ve given a lot of thought as to what we really want to know about rebounding rates. In an ideal world we could measure a rating for each player that would allow us to parameterize rebounding rates […]

Earlier in the season I wrote myself the following note while watching a Clippers game: Is Baron Davis really a “very good” rebounder for a guard? How would we determine this? (Please continue once you’re done laughing at the fact I was actually watching a Clippers game.) This note was the result of listening to […]
Predicting Team Rebounding Rates

In other words, finding each team’s rating does not affect their overall ranking very much. The same holds true for offensive and defensive rebounding rates, and I suspect […]
