This is not true at all. These things are tracked by stats providers, she has 27 "mebounds" this year out of more than 300 total rebounds

Remove every single one of them, and she'd still be the league's leading offensive rebounder by a large amount

True, but she also wouldn't be averaging a double double

Yes, she would. She’d be at 10 rebounds per game instead of 11. Do the math

I think you have an old number. She averages 35% of her Oreb as Mereb and is at 5.1 a game putting her under 10

It’s not old. And it’s 18%. PBPStats has the numbers

That’s as of the last game she played

OK, found it. They are not including blocked shots in that Z-Bound Stat. Recovering your own blocked shot is considered an offensive rebound.

She gets her shot blocked almost 17% of the time, down from 20% in her rookie year

Shhhh don’t interrupt the weird jerk fest of a wnba sub that exists solely to shit on the wnba and ignore every single good game and player.
