Defensive Rebounding Percentage
Defensive Rebounding 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 is calculated by dividing the number of defensive rebounds by the total number of available rebounds, which includes both defensive rebounds and offensive rebounds by the opposing team.
A higher DRB% indicates better performance in securing rebounds, which is crucial for limiting second-chance scoring opportunities for opponents. Teams with strong defensive rebounding skills can control the game tempo and improve their chances of winning by preventing offensive rebounds and maintaining possession.
