CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland Cavaliers reserve power forward Tristan Thompson is having a career year, and it has placed him in the company of some rebounding elite.
The 24-year-old is pulling the ball from the glass at an impressive rate this season. He's averaging 9.9 boards a game, tops in the league for players coming off the bench. Averaged over 36 minutes per game - a minimum number usually associated with starters - he would be at a career-high mark of 13.1 a night.
But to put his numbers into proper context, we took a look at where Thompson's board-grabbing stacks up historically for players off the pine.
