Antic may not be the most dominant rebounder in the world for a man of his size, but he has proven throughout the year that he is more than capable of securing vital rebounds when it matters most.

For the season, he averaged a solid but far from spectacular 4.2 rebounds per game, and it’s an area he should look to work on. Antic is a tough, physical guy, who won’t be easily outworked, yet his lack of athleticism leads to him often being out-jumped or out-reached.

In order to combat this going forward, Antic should work on trying to establish better position to box out, particularly on the defensive end.
