Ed Davis is gone and it is time to figure out how the Trail Blazers will adjust. (Yes, I miss Ed Davis as much as anyone. I’m wearing my “Property of Ed Davis” sweatshirt as I type this.) One of the things that I think (okay, worry) about is who will devour all those rebounds that he once ate up?
Last year the Blazers were fourth in the league in the number of rebounds per game (45.5) and fourth in rebounding percentage. In two of the three seasons Davis was with the team, the Blazers finished in the top five in the league in rebounds per game and in the top 10 in rebounding percentage.
