A lot of people on here criticise Marsh for his rebounding and that's probably fair but I see a lot less people talking about Keller's rebounding and honestly I think it's significantly worse. He's seemingly never in position to get a rebound, it feels like every time a shot goes up he's stood directly under the basket where he has no chance of grabbing anything, every rebound just goes straight over his head. Offensive rebounds have absolutely killed us in a few games recently and I haven't checked any stats to back this up but it feels like the majority of them come when Keller's on the court. When Marsh was out, our rebounding seemed to improve when Keller sat and MMM came in.
To put it into a bit of perspective, Keller and Parker have both played 94 minutes so far this season. Keller has 15 rebounds compared to Parker's 13. A skinny 6'3 freshman guard should not be rebounding at basically the same rate as the 6'10 big guy in his second year. I don't know if it's down to just bad positioning or if he doesn't have the desire or strength to fight for his spot on rebounds or what but he needs to figure it out quickly because second chance points have been one of this team's biggest weaknesses so far this year.
I don't want it to seem like I'm just hating on Keller, he's already shown more this season than I was expecting from him, but he needs to improve in this area big time if he's gonna keep getting minutes.
