He was the worst rebounder on his team not just last year, but every one of his three years. Mentioning him in the same breath as guys like Blueitt and Jenkins, both of whom are excellent rebounding guards, just doesn't make sense.
For Katin Reinhardt to provide even marginal rebounding at the 4 (as in a 12% DR%) would require a massive, massive outlier of a statistical year, and for him to reach average levels would pretty much require two of him on the floor at once. Jay Bee on Scoop put it well when he said Reinhardt is allergic to rebounds. He can shoot the ball, he defends without fouling, but he does not rebound. If he is the worst rebounder in the country at 6'6" or taller it would not surprise me in the least.
