Rebound Stats

An offensive rebound is when a player grabs the basketball after their team misses a shot. Any time a player grabs a missed shot, it is called a rebound. Offensive rebounds give that player's team another chance to score some point. The defense should get the rebound if all of their players are doing their job and blocking out. 

Defensive rebounds are one of the most important basketball statistics, especially for forwards. Any time the other team misses a shot, the team on defense should be in position to grab the ball if they miss. When a player grabs the ball right after the other team misses a shot, it is considered a defensive rebound. 

Total rebounds is the combination of offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds a player gathers. It's the sum of Offensive Rebounds and Defensive Rebounds (OFF + DEF), or the total number of times a player grabs the ball after a missed shot from either team.Rebounds per game is the average number of times a player gathers a rebound (grabs the ball after a missed shot) per games they've played in a certain period of time (a season, their career, the playoffs, etc.).
