To be honest, I'd argue he's not even a great rebounder. For his size, he's average at best in that skillset. Most of his rebounds come straight to him. On occasion, you get him to be aggressive and he goes and gets some boards, but that's few and far between.
That said, HD is most definitely our best player and not the problem with the team.
Also that said, he's the most unathletic dude on the floor no matter who else is out there. I think the way he swings his arms and shuffles his feet make him an optical nightmare to watch for most KU fans who are used to watching athletic bigs (T-Rob, Doke, Embiid, etc).
