- An offensive rebounder should pursue the rebound along the shortest path to its predicted landing spot.
- This often means taking a diagonal path rather than a straight line to the basket.
- For example, if a shot misses from the right wing, the offensive rebounder might pursue diagonally toward the left side of the backboard where the rebound is likely to bounce.
- The angle also depends on your position relative to defensive players; if a defender is already positioned near the basket, the rebounder should pursue an angle that avoids direct contact and approaches from a different direction.
