Kuminga's going to have to learn to rebound. Neither Podziemski (8.8 rpg, led WCC), or Davis-Jackson (second in rebounding, 10.8 ppg) have as steep a learning curve. Kuminga actually averaged fewer rebounds per minute last season than he did the prior season. I don't get the sense that Kuminga wants to mix it up as much as the other two do.

After every game last year I checked Kuminga's rebounding numbers because it is so clearly obvious the key to his future is rebounding. My disappointment was legion.

On a related note, are any of you aware of a young player drastically increasing their rebounding numbers after two years of not doing much on the glass? As much as I like Wiseman's potential, his lack of rebounding numbers concerned me as well. My basic belief is you either have the mentality to be a rebounder or you don't. My concern is Kuminga just doesn't have it and never will, but remain hopeful he can get better at it.
