The eye test is showing me that KP can rebound even if he is not ever going to be an elite rebounder. I think collectively we can do well rebounding with DFS, Luka, Wright, KP and Maxi starting or playing a lot of minutes together. DFS and Luka in particular are very good rebounders for their position. Maxi has been rebounding pretty well with more minutes.
Mavs had a pretty even rebounding split against the Blazers who have Whiteside out there grabbing boards. I didn't feel like we were getting killed on the boards or anything.
Luka does grab uncontested rebounds but in his case its an advantage for him to do so just like Jason Kidd bc he can immediately push up for the court vs DAJ who would have to spend an extra two seconds passing to a ball handler.
Luka does a great job getting in position for offensive rebounds when he doesn't have the ball. He is just a fantastic player all the way around. I pinch myself every day that he landed in the Mavs' lap.

The way Mavs play now is that centers box out and the guards (usually Luka) collect uncontested layups in order to get to fastbreak as soon as possible. I would say that most of Luka rebounds actually come from uncontested rebounds, that KP or some other guys could also gather just as easily. De Andre got his huge rebounding stats by going after every uncontested rebound
That's believable. I'll have to pay attention to that.
