Basketball Statistics Analysis Referred Concepts:
Calculating the 'Rebound Rate' from the boxscore

How to calculate 'Rebound Rate' in basketball from the player's statistics boxscore according to the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System ?

Rebound rate is a very useful statistic to make a division between good rebounders and poor rebounders.

This method give us the percentage of missed shots a player rebounds while on the court, but take into account that it doesn't function for entire teams: it only functions for individuals players.

Obtain the player's statistics whom you are going to analyze from the boxscore. To calculate with few mistakes the rebound rate, we need to know the total number of rebounds grabbed by that player along with the number of minutes the player played.

Come upon team stats for both the team the player you are analyzing and the teams your player went against: total number of rebounds for the team and the total number of rebounds for the opponent and total number of minutes the two teams played.

Add together the number of team rebounds for both teams. Multiply the result by the number of minutes the player played.

Multiply the number of rebounds the individual grabbed by the number of total team minutes played. Take this number, and divide it by the resulting number from the previous calculation. After dividing the two numbers, the result is the rebound rate for the player: that means the percentage of missed shots a player rebounds while on the court.

If you wish to examine and note the similarities or differences of multiple individuals, you need to complete these calculations each time to get the rebound rate for each individual player.
