James Roberts, a 6’2” CG in the 2027 class, of East Orange Campus High School (NJ)/ Panthers Basketball Club has committed to NJIT.
A good in state get for Grant Billmeier and staff in Roberts, who’s taken significant strides in developing his overall floor game the past few her value on top of his potent perimeter shooting.

Egor Demin is going to be the biggest jump of any second year player in the NBA
Got thrown into a spot he wasn’t ready for last season but it really helped him grow up fast
There is no way he would have even tried this pass last season

It doesn't matter how many teammates of yours went D1.
It doesn't matter how many people you know went D1.
It doesn't matter how many points you scored against that D1 recruit.
What matters, is where do you fit?

REBOUNDING ANALYTICS and SCHEME
We know that shooting ~ 33% from 3 is the same as shooting 50% from 2. But not all 2 point FGs are created equally, obviously. Below is the offensive rebound rate for various shot types (Sloan Sports Conference).
**Rebound % > Total Rebounds, especially when analyzing scheme.
Inside 6 feet: 36.6%
6-10 feet: 28%
10-21.5 feet: 21.1%
Three Pointers: 25.5%
This, again, points to the fact that the mid range shot is the least efficient shot in basketball. With higher rebound rates, naturally you get higher FT % rates, which is one of the most efficient shots in the sport and impacts the game tremendously.
More importantly this shows us SHOT QUALITY is a dual purpose advanced analytic. Teams who shoot quality shots, will naturally rebound at a higher %.
Reverse engineering this process, you can gather information towards answering your ‘rebounding vs getting back’ philosophy question (@aaronfearne14 is amazing with this). I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer here, except that working inside/out and collapsing help defenders is clearly the superior way to play, whether in transition or in half court.
