No Extension for Walker Kessler?

TLDR; regarding off. rebounding vs transition defense - it depends on the relative strengths of your personnel. If you naturally suck at offensive rebounding, probably shouldn’t lean into it.

Could make the argument that you should go for the rebound regardless. Even the bad offensive rebounding teams see large jumps in OREB% from sending more without much difference in transition shots given up.

The argument that offensive rebounding hurts transition defense is mostly vibes related and not supported by data. There's a stronger case to be made that the best transition defense is a strong offensive rebounding focus.
 
It should be noted that defensive rating will be worse when you crash because you don’t get a “stop” when you get the rebound.
