Rebounding: Dwight Howard

Dwight’s one of the best rebounders in the league. Maybe the best. He leads the league in rebound percentage and offensive rebound percentage. He’s sixth in defensive rebound percentage.

Per NBA.com, when Howard’s on the court, the Hawks have a huge rebounding percentage of 54.6 percent. When he sits that number goes all the way down to 46.0 percent.

That means when Howard’s on the court the Hawks end up with a rebound almost 55 percent of the time one is up for grabs.

Paul Millsap is second on the team in rebounding (8.1), but the huge drop off to third with Thabo Sefolosha (4.8) gives you an idea as to how much Howard does for his team.
