His rebounding was NEVER good...with the Spurs at least.
It's all relative. Aldridge is in good shape by average person standards, he's just not in good shape by NBA standards.
This probably partially explains his relatively slow start, but I'm beginning to think whatever knee problem he has (could be tendinitis) is the bigger issue. He looked in similar shape to start last season, yet his rebounding was significantly better and he appeared slightly more athletic, though that could just be age.

Did none of you watch LMA play before becoming a Spur. He's always been a fat boy who shoots a fadeaway.
Word is twolves are desperate for front court depth
No ine in the wolves wil make the sours better this year but if they want to give Towns..we'd be happy.
Not true. Last season he had a TRB% of 15.9, which is 2nd best in his career. This season he's been well below par but it can partially be explained with him being switched on guards much more often than before and playing farther away from the basket on offense compared to last season.
It can also be explained by playing with Dedmon, Lee and Gasol ( all good rebounders) compared to 20 mpg of Duncan, West and Diaw ( both below avg rebounders). Last yr, LaMarcus got to most of the uncontested rebound opportunities.
LaMarcus' contested rebound % this year has been atrocious fwiw..
This is all true and yet, last year's team was like second best rebounding team in the NBA by TRB% and this year's is below average. Hopefully they pick this up because they have good rebounders at every position, bar PG.
And last years TRB% had to do with a lot more uncontested rebound opportunities off misses since they had an elite/all time regular season defense last year from an analytics perspective.
I remember an Aldridge more in shape in POR, that looked better at shooting his fadeaways.
When he started with the Spurs I wondered if it was the uniform.
Look, people are pissed that this guy has absolutely been MIA the first quarter of the season. He along with his buddy in the paint Pau, have been the main culprits to slow starts and defense. Now we know he can turn it around like last season, but why does he have to turn it around? Why can’t he be consistent like the best player on the team? He’s the highest paid player but is playing like a ing 6th man, good on one night, off on the other.
don't u mean good 1 night and off the next 2 or 3?
But he was 59th in the league percentage wise and 64th in the league per game last season. Theres only 30 teams. Thats bad.
Eh, you have to take into account the number of deep bench players or players not playing enough games/minutes, etc. He's no Andre Drummond but grades about equal to Anthony Davis, this is kinda OK.
30 ppg, 8.5 rpg on 80% shooting since Christmas

Only a matter of time until Harlem starts deleting old posts again
Do you ever post takes, or just bump ?
Good that he has stepped up. I think when Pop said the team had some guys that were not playing well and that they had to participate in their own recovery, he was talking primarily about Lamarcus... good that he's turned his aggressiveness on.

Frank Bertans with the nice board.
