Why Steph Curry’s rebounding is on the rise and fueling Warriors’ fast break

Steph Curry is collecting rebounds this season like a power forward. He is second on the Golden State Warriors in rebounding behind center Kevon Looney. Curry also ranks fifth in the NBA among guards. He's scoring 30.8 points per game and averaging 7.1 assists. It's his best production in eight years.

Curry has improved his rebounding. The Warriors are second in the NBA in pace. Steve Kerr believes it's because of Curry's rebarding. The team is small by NBA standards. It's important for guards to help on the boards. If they do, they get out in transition and create more chances for shots. Draymond Green made a traditional three-point play in Friday's win over Chicago. He got a rebound and passed to Klay Thompson. They are No. 2 in NBA for pace, after leading most of the season. The coach believes that Curry’s rebounded has something to do with that.
