Defensive Rebound Percentage
Defensive Rebound Percentage (DRB%) is a basketball statistic that measures the percentage of available defensive rebounds a player or team secures after a missed shot by the opposing team. It helps evaluate a player's effectiveness in preventing second-chance points by controlling the ball after a missed field goal attempt. A higher DRB% indicates better performance in rebounding.
This statistic is crucial for teams, as securing defensive rebounds can significantly impact the game's outcome. By limiting the opposing team's opportunities to score, players with a strong DRB% contribute to their team's overall defensive strategy and success on the court.
