But Embiid didn’t put enough effort into rebounding
Stop saying Embiid didn’t put enough effort into rebounding. He literally grabbed the second most contested rebound. You know, the type of rebound that requires an actual effort
This is playoff stats. In regular season, he grabbed 4.5 contested rebounds/game. Eighth most among the league

This particular stat is meaningless without additional context and/or on a rate basis. Show the rebound chance % column and it’s a less rosy picture and more accurately describes the rebounding struggles in the playoffs

I’m taking the opposite conclusion from this. He’s a good rebounder when he contests it, but his total rebound number is lower. That suggests he doesn’t go for as many boards. Let’s not act like it wasn’t an issue against the Knicks

Even will never get credit for things that are proven directly by numbers. He only gets credit for being a scorer since you can’t really argue with ppg. He’s an elite defensive player and he’s improved dramatically as a passer but people rarely acknowledge it.
