Early-Season Rebounding, Shot Volume and Rotation Questions

Through six games, Denver reportedly ranked 26th in defensive-rebounding rate, while Jokić shot 22.6% from three; coverage cited a 114 offensive rating with him on court and reduced rim and paint scoring. A separate analysis says Denver takes 31.9 threes per game (28th) and opponents take more, especially from the corners. Toronto’s win and Braun’s strong start are counterpoints, but the sample is small.
