No rebounders

We really do not have any rebounders on this team. True, Rayjon Tucker averages 6.8 boards per game, but then he is on the floor an average of 36.7 minutes per game, so he ought to get a lot of rebounds. But Tucker is not really a rebounder. He doesn't think "rebound" while he is out there; his instincts are offensive. Kamani Johnson is probably the closest thing we have to a rebounder, but he is a true freshman and has a lot to learn, plus he only averages 19.2 minutes per game. Kris Bankston has the physical tools to rebound, but he does not seem to have the nose nor the heart for it. Rebounders are rebounders primarily because they think "rebound," and it is a priority with them.
