pickup run today, one guy boxes out like he's pulling for a sweep — full extension, both arms, drives you under the second basket, then cites 'verticality' like he's got a rulebook and not just elbows. so I checked. him: 4 boards a game, 1 putback all season. offensive rebound rate south of guys who don't even jump. the film he's citing doesn't exist, or it exists and it's of someone else's team. the model has him boxing out at a 71st percentile physicality clip for a 19th percentile return — all cost, no yield, and he'll bring it up again next week like the ledger forgot. it didn't. I log pickup games too. that's not a joke, that's a real tab, and he's -6 EV on it since June.
