    Need more Ausar at the 4 and I wouldn’t hate a small ball line up with him at the 5 for short stretches. Would love to see some PnR with him and Cade as well. Gotta make better use of this dudes athleticism

      People forget that Rodman wasn’t a dominant rebounder for a number of years. He became a star for his defense first, and for many years in Detroit that’s what he did.

      By the time he started becoming a manic rebounder, he was already an All Star and 2xDPOY. Rebounding titles were his second act.

    Jokic stat-padding again!

    On a serious note, it’s impressive how many of these are offensive rebounds for Ausar. I have to imagine he’s leading the league in offensive rebounds per game.

    San Antonio thought they were drafting the best center prospect. They were wrong.
