The Register article mentions Purvis's poor rebounding totals as compared to smaller guards of recent years like Walker, Napier and Boatright. I think this is due to Purvis often leaking out on the break. He was actually UConn's most explosive transition player for much of last season. However with more and better penetration by the point guards Purvis should have more rebounding opportunities in half court sets. What do you guys think?
