Found some rebounding stats on the Chief that were interesting to me. kenpom provides two rebounding stats for individual players: OR% and DR%. OR% is: PlayerOR / [%Min * (Team OR + Opp. DR)]. PlayerOR is the number of offensive rebounds by the player. %Min is the percentage of the team's minutes played by the player. Team OR is team offensive rebounds, and Opp. DR is the opponents' defensive rebounds against that team. So, if Ochefu gets 10 rebounds in 32 minutes (in a non-OT game), we have 50 offensive rebounds, and our opponent has 50 defensive rebounds, his OR% would be .125 - (10/.8*100).

As you'd expect, DR% is: PlayerDR / [%Min * (Team DR + Opp. OR)]. In either case, it's a rough shot at the percentage of missed shots on either end that the player collects when he's in the game.

For the season, Ochefu is 27th in the country in OR% and 8th in DR%. That's pretty damn impressive. He's generally playing only 19-26 minutes per game since conference play started, but when he's in there, he's collecting an awful lot of the missed shots.
