Am convinced that rebounding cannot be taught, nowhere near as simple as blocking out. Top rebounders like Josh Hart basically think with their feet, are moving to the right spot while others are still reading the situation. In other words, to rebound you need to play rebounders - Dyson may be our only plus rebounder besides JV, so I chance for him to play as a wing, possibly even small-ball PF
I'd go one step further - think that rebounding is such an innate skill that I don't think more than a handful ever show any significant improvement, magically or not. Obviously playing someone closer to the basket or not next to a rebound vacuum will spike his numbers, but without doing anything for the team numbers.

Agreed. I don't think people magically go from poor rebounders to good ones. Will be a challenge
