Pistons are one rolled ankle away from a serious rebounding problem
The Detroit Pistons have played most of the season without starting center Jalen Duren and it shows in the rebounding numbers, which are trending in the wrong direction.
The Pistons were one of the top rebounding teams in the league last season, but those numbers have dipped significantly without Duren in the lineup, which was to be expected. Paul Reed offers things Duren does not, but he’s not as good a rebounder.
The Pistons’ rebounding rate and total rebounds per game have dropped from 5th in the league last season to just 22nd in this one.
The Pistons were 3rd overall in offensive rebounds per game last season but have plummeted to just 25th this season.
