Pair this with last night's game against Jokic who was just man-handling everyone out there and it just made our rebound situation look worse. I honestly didn't realize Jokic was such a big dude. He made both Dirk and Salah look small.

Your first sentence is pretty much contradicted by the rest of your post... You actually did a pretty good job of highlighting why we need improved rebounding.

Fortunately, it's not going to be much of a concern with most of the players we're looking at, especially since we're not chasing PGs... Even the smaller guys are decent rebounders:

Ayton 11.3
Bagley 11.7
Porter 14.3 (high school)
Doncic 5.7
Bamba 10.4
Jackson 6.2
Mikal 6.1
Carter 9.1
Miles 7.4
Williams 9.5
