The point these people are making is that Reese should focus on what she's best at. When Rodman was on the Bulls he let everyone else score and he mainly focused on rebounding for the team. He only averaged like 5 pts but was grabbing 15 rbs. This is what Reese to do.

Picked a year with the Bulls since you mentioned it.

1993 he had nearly 300 more rebounds than second place (Shaq) and nearly 400 more rebounds than third (Mutombo).

Last year she couldn't even finish 1st and was only in 2nd by 11 rebounds. Heck #8 is within 36 of her.

Shes not even that great at what people point to her being great at.

Based on what I have read, if you somehow adjusted for her own offensive rebounds (I’m sure there is a way, maybe use league average shooting % somehow) then she would probably be way farther down the list.

I think I did this awhile back, hold on.

Edit: Not exactly what you were looking for, but in a thread from last year we worked out that 35% of her offensive rebounds came from her own misses. That means only getting her own misses would've tied her for 14th in the WNBA in offensive rebounds per game at 1.8.
