Interesting that the three best teams in the league are among the 7 worst teams at knocking down open shots
That is an interesting stat. I guess to make up for the low percentage, the 3 teams have more open shots per game. So I would think that means
1) the 3 best teams may rebound well.
2) But also tough defense limits the amount of shots taken by the opposing team.
OKC is basically the worst offensive rebounding team in the league. Pistons are one of the best, and the Spurs are mid. OKC is league average at shooting and the Spurs and Pistons are bottom 3rd.
OKC has a few good shooters, but they are all smaller level role players. Pistons basically just have Duncan Robinson and Dannis Jenkins.
I don't really see any common threads other than these three teams are not great at shooting. But all three are elite defensive teams and have great PGs that are elite at rim pressure.
