Offensive rebounding in the NBL

Won't see too many scores identified on the stats sheets as coming from fast breaks - none in fact, based on my observation.

I understand that is because there is no ready [and quickly identified] statistical definition of a fast break so a decision has been taken not to use the 'fast break' stat.

Really? Have you ever seen a long rebound off a missed 3? How about off a missed layup? Citation needed.

Yes, it happens more often with threes than with layups, but unless you brick a shot it should fall close to the basket regardless.

97.5% of all shots fall within 14.2 feet

Additionally, it's also a myth that longer shots are more likely to create offensive rebounds.

We see that the best location to attempt a field goal to maximize the chance of an offensive rebound is close to the basket. Shots attempted within 6 feet of the basket and missed are recovered at a 36% rate. From 6-10 feet, the rate becomes 28%. There is a significant change in the 10-22 foot range,where missed shots are only rebounded at a 21.5% rate. There is also an interesting transition at the three-point line where rebound rates outside 22 feet jump up to 25.5%.

That long shots create long rebounds is actually a myth.

Yep, agree. Fewer people contesting the rebounds in the NBA. On certain possessions in the NBA, teams almost have that mentality whereby its either we either make the shot or they secure the board.

NBL players actually bother to try. In the NBA, a shot goes up and nine guys jog back the other way.

Zone defense would inflate the O board numbers.

Some big names at the Heat and Pistons this year and the NZ NBL is looking pretty strong. The Heat have just added Kavossy Franklin to Rick Rickert and Dillon Boucher.

Anyone know where he's been playing this last AU NBL season? Wonder if he fancies himself a chance for our NBL this coming season?
