I'm out on the 2023-24 season ....

I've had these same thoughts.  Our team seems to grab the easy rebounds. Anytime a team has size or bulk on the floor, they easily get the majority of the boards unless they bounce straight too one of our guys. He have no one who boxes out with success. 

With Lively, he's 19. He's going to get bigger and stronger with age. That added bulk will do him wonders.

Success is a word with a range-y definition...

But watch OMax next time he gets minutes.   He is very active at finding a player on the other team and boxing out when a shot goes up.

Now...I dont know if there are rules to boxing out.   If you are faced with two opposing players...I assume you go for and try and box out the bigger player since he would have the best shot at a rebound.   If there are rules like that to boxing out....I dont know if OMax is passing tests.   I just know that he is active on box outs and not lazy.   He at least puts in an effort to find a body, get his buttox low and then seal the player out with his low butt and long arms.

He hasnt let me down yet when watching him.   Again...I dont know if that means he is winning the hearts of the coaches.   Maybe they see what I see but think he should be grabbing more boards instead of just showing a decent box out.
