Defensively he just wasnt quick enough to be a real threat as a rim protector and he got abused in the pick and roll. Rebounding was meh, because he wasnt athletic enough to rebound outside his area.

This is a good point. He actually was a good offensive rebounder because he could put himself in places to get those rebounds before the shots went up. He was bad defensive rebounder for his size because teams smartly pulled him from the basket and he couldn't rebound out of his area. The first year that wasn't a huge deal because Tre Scott just sucked up everything on the defensive glass. This past year it hurt some, though I will say he did a good job boxing out his man and the guards did a good job going and getting the ball on the defensive glass to make up for it.

I mean at 7’1” he had games with as many rebounds as Bearcatman, Bearcatmark, and I combined.

His offensive rebounding rate was solid. His defensive rebounding rate was bad, particularly for a 7 footer.

He was 2nd on the team (to Tari Eason who was an exceptional offensive rebounder when onthe floor) in offensive rebound rate and was 317th nationally in offensive rebound rate. He was 9th on the team in defensive rebound rate (8th if you don't count Rap). That's pretty crazy.
