How important is rebounding for SGs? it drives up their salary quite a bit but how big of an effect does it have? is it really worth the extra salary?

I like players with good secondaries and that are well balanced. My SG has Average rebounding and he gets quite a bit of rebounds. (11799247)
Last game my guards REB's were probably the reason why I won. Although my team's rebounding rating was lower, since my Guards REB was better we ended up winning in rebounds. (42765952)
I would like atleast 5 but not more than 8 or 9.

My thinking is that every little bit helps. Rebounding is really a team stat which every player contributes too. And if your SG is a good rebounder, he'll likely perform better at SF as well.

i absolutely agrgee with the other two, rebounding is important on every position, the more the better. but in my opinion, to really use this as a missmatch your guards rebounding should be 2-3 lvls higher than your oponent's (at least for the players stats, not sure how it really effects the game by boxing out etc)

engine is a bitch here. my regular starting pg has reb 6 and goes for 3,6 rebs/game in 29,6 minutes. my sg and my double-backup have reb 2 and 3 and go for 2,7 in 33,5 and 2,2 in 30,7minutes respectively.

to be honest, i dont see a HUGH difference here, given that my pgs salary was around 13k less(which is over 20%!) with reb 2 instead of 6.

but again: that are only the players stats, not sure how it really effects the game. guess there is a reason why this skill is expensive on every position ;-)

True, but you're going to pay for rebounding at every position so IMO it doesn't matter if it's a guard or a forward. And the higher priced the player, the more you pay for it obviously.

In my opinion the engine needs a fix when it comes to rebounds in general and outside shooting percentages.

Mediocre rebounding (8-10) on a guard is a great asset, those ~6 rebounds per game will help you a lot and are relatively cheap compared to just one level rebounding more on a big men (like CE said).

I dont really think that u lose that 6 defensive rebounds if ur PG wont have 6+ reb skill, i think when ur team have to get that reb, so every player gets his % to get this reb, like ur PG-10% SG-5% SF-15% PF-30% and C-40% if they all have same skills. I`m not saying it is like that, i`m just wondering. And i`m pretty sure not only rebound skill depends for rebs, it must be driving or smth i dont know, couse i have 10 reb PF who always taking more rebs than 15 reb C. And he taking much much more rebs. I`m think inside shooting helps to take offensive rebs too.

well, thats guessing.could also be a matchup thing. and here i'm back on topic. if the opponents guards have a 8 in rebounding a 6 on your guards isnt much better than a 2 in my opinion.

i am with crazyeye and knecht, good teamrebounding helps to manage the salary on your bigs, but still they carry most of the load, especially when playing a 3-2 zone

I had the same idea a couple of seasons ago, that driving was linked to (offensive) rebounds because a driving player is closer to the basket to catch his missed shot.

However I was told that, thats not how the engine works.
