Mitchell Robinson is currently on pace to be the most impactful single-season offensive rebounder in NBA history. And boy, are the New York Knicks reaping the rewards.
The 27-year-old big man is grabbing 36.7 percent of his teammates’ misses when he’s on the court. That would shatter the previous record, which was set by Steven Adams last year, when he boarded 21.4 percent of the Houston Rockets’ misfires.
Offensive rebounding, of course, is up around the league. Crashing the glass off your own team’s misses is one of the hottest trends. You expect to see some wild individual numbers as a result.
