Look I realize this is a bash chandler thread but this is just false. Chandler is and has always been a better rebounder then Melo.
Chandler 26.8/7.5reb = a rebound every 3.57 min or 13.5 per 48 min
Melo 39.1/8.7 - A rebound every 4.47 min or 10.6 per 48 min
And this is with Melo having his best rebounding year ever and chandler in a down year. Chandlers career avg is 15 rebounds per 48 min.
Per48 stats don't matter, no one plays that many minutes, certainly not Chandler. And I'm sure everyone already knew Chandler has a higher career rebounding average. Melo has better instincts rebounding the ball, Chandler is bigger and only stays under the basket so he gets more, happy?
No, he posted this year's #s. You could cut them in half or use any other fraction if you don't like per 48. Chandler still rebounds at a higher rate.
I know he does, my post was hyperbole. I know per 48 stats are just a multiple of a player's average stats, but per 48 is rubbish, because no one plays that much. When I said per 48 minutes stats don't matter I was referring to his last sentence in which he said Chandler's per 48 career avg in rebounds is 15, like I'm supposed to be impressed. Okay 15*(28 min/48 min), the amount he actually plays, is a lot less impressive. Per 36 stats have use because they tell you what a guy's output might be when compared to starters, who usually play a little less than 36 minutes a night. Per48 has no use really in my opinion.
Chandler rebounds at a higher rate, that's not arguable, that's fact. But what I'm saying is Melo has better rebounding instincts, reads the ball better, and actually secures rebounds better than Chandler, famous for his "tip outs" that May or may not go to a player on the other team. Chandler has a size and position advantage when rebounding so he's going to have more, but I think Melo is a much better rebounder for his position than Chandler is for his. I see Melo as a SF, however I know you seem him as a PF when analyzing his rebounding stats. Regardless, his stats this year are still impressive.
