I say Randle will probably be the only one up there.
He's the only natural defensive rebounder that will get significant minutes.

Julius Randle. He will average a double-double.

Bogut can be a rebounding force when he's engaged he got 8.4RPG with Dallas and his 36per was probably 12-13RPG, our big man rotation is gonna be freaking awesome with the addition of Bogut. Now we can try trading Zu and Clarkson for some more vets on expiring deals.

Our bench is going to bed clarksons scoring imo. Without him we have no scoring threats coming off the bench that can go get you a bucket. Lonzo can't play 48 minutes a game setting everyone up.

Clarkson will be a good change of style guard.

Same guys as last year (minus Deng), Randle by a pretty good margin, then Nance, then Ingram or Ball.

Hopefully, our interior defense will be better and create more defensive rebounding opportunities. We spent too much time taking the ball out of the basket last season. I expect Randle to really benefit from Lopez, Bogut and Zu challenging shots which is something Moz did very little.

KCP is supposed to be a great rebounder too with Bogut. About 7 years ago Bogut was a Fantasy BBall machine!

I mean Randle looks like he just shaved off fat and didn't lose a lot of actual muscle. He's only going to be more conditioned to play more minutes and it's his contract year. It's not who's going to lea r them in defensive boards bUT how far ahead of everyone will Randle be.

3) Ball (if he becomes a triple double threat)

Our best offense will be Lonzo grabbing rebounds and starting the break. I think we'd be better served if the bigs focused more on blocking out and letting him sort of collect the freebies rather than the individual boxscore numbers. Lopez is already one of the best in the league at that. I think Nance is pretty good at it, too.

Well, defensive rebounding stats get tricky to interpret in isolation. Layups against us tend to go in.

If he's grabbing more rebounds than nearly 7 foot Ingram, that would be sad.

I'd rather him leak out and wait for Lonzo to hit him like Kuzma did in the SPL.

That was my theory on it. Also maybe there's another aspect to Lonzo grabbing the defensive rebound. A lot of the rebounds Westbrook would get, his teammates laid off and allowed him to grab the rebound and pad his stats. For Lonzo, maybe they'll help him get that Triple Double, but a better reason would be that the sooner the ball is in his hands, the faster we can get this offense running.

Well, after just watching GT's latest video, he feels Lonzo will have the second most total rebounds, not just defensive. But here is my theory why it's entirely posssible. Teammates will want Zo to grab that rebound and start the break as soon as possible. By the time he touches the ball Ingram, Kuz, JC will already be 3/4 down the court. It has nothing to do with Ingram's longer arms. It has everything to do with style of play and efficiency. Also my Westbrook theory might come in to play. If Lonzo needs a couple of rebounds to complete a triple double, teammates might lay off or box out so Lonzo can grab the extra boards.
