get a rebound. Add to that someone being 6'11" and you have to try even that much harder. I don't care what position you play, if you're not getting rebounds then maybe you need to rethink how you're playing. Even point guards usually get some rebounds.
If you're going to be on the floor then you have to be a "player." Players shoot, defend, dribble, pass, and rebound.
I would think someone 6'11" would be embarrassed to play and not get a rebound. In the last 11 games Booker is averaging 16 minutes a game and averaging 2 rebounds a game. Against Presbyterian he played 21 minutes and had 1 rebound. Against Arizona State he played 14 minutes and had 0 rebounds. Against UC Riverside he played 13 minutes and had 1 rebound. Against Iowa he played 12 minutes and had 1 rebound. Against Maryland he played 16 minutes and had 0 rebounds. How can you play a guy like that. He's needed to play solid (not spectacular) defense, score some points, and rebound. I would think he would be embarrassed by his efforts, or lack there of.
