I thought about the issue you brought up too. I think for an outside player taking more shots may hurt their ORBe, but an inside player where you often get to rebound your own miss taking more shots may even improve your ORBe. I will have to think about ways to deal with this. One could just subtract own misses from total chances but that may skew things too much (it would assume that all ORB are from a team mate’s miss).

Another thing I would be curious to look at would be percent of ORB that directly lead to a bucket ie. tip-in, dunk etc. Those will be more valuable than an ORB that leads to a new shot clock and a new set which may or may not lead to a score. Not sure that the info is out there to easily look at this though.

I wonder if there’s a way to factor in the percentage of the team’s shots that a player takes , as someone who is a bigger part of the offense (Lee) will have fewer chances to grab offensive rebounds than someone who isn’t (Haywood). Of course, that assumes that the shooter has a reduced chance of grabbing an offensive rebound, which I’m not necessarily sure is true (but it seems to make intuitive sense outside of a stationary bricked layup situation).
