Clippers guards helping big men rebound
The Clippers are a middle-of-the-road rebounding team in the NBA.
They are averaging 42.9 rebounds per game, 16th best in the league. But the Clippers have gotten better at rebounding because their guards are helping out now.
A big example of that was when Chris Paul had 10 rebounds against the Utah Jazz on Saturday night.
“We’ve got to get back and crack back and help rebound,” Paul said. “We’ve got two of the best rebounders in the league, but we can’t just leave it all on them. We’ve got to go in there and help them.”
Clippers center DeAndre Jordan is third in the NBA in rebounding, averaging 13.3 per game. Forward Blake Griffin is eighth in the league in rebounding, averaging 10.6 per game.
