80% of his rebounds are with no one around. I know there is a contested rebound statistic, but I don't buy it.

A computerized eye test that looks at literally every second of play with criteria, not bias. Or your eye test on the moments in a game that stand out to you. We're all going to be replaced by computers sooner or later G.

The criteria for a contested rebound is a defender within 3.5 feet. It'd be great if we could set our own criteria maybe the figure is 80% if you go down to 2 feet, but at 3.5 feet he gets 4.6 contested rebounds per game vs. 5.4 uncontested or 54%. 4.6 is 10th in the league, so applying the same criteria to every player, he gets the 10th most "contested" rebounds. I could be wrong, but I don't think if you changed the criteria to say 2 feet that he'd fall that far on the list, but I would agree with you in that based on my own eye test I doubt he would go up in rank.
