Based on this table, I agree with you that Grayson and Luke are good rebounding guards. Or at least good Duke rebounding guards, since Grayson last season had the best defensive rebounding percentage of any Duke guard in the past seven years and Luke was fourth best.

Two other things worth mentioning in this table: (1) for a guy who while he was here got beat up on these boards for being a "one dimensional player," who among other things couldn't rebound very well, Andre Dawkins represents pretty well in this table; and (2) it seems odd to me that Quinn Cook went from second-worst DRB% as a freshman to second-best DRB% as a sophomore. Suggests that being a "good rebounding guard" is not necessarily an absolute attribute.

FWIW - I was just down at Duke for BBall camp and saw Marques Bolden in person, lifting weights in the K Center under the watchful eye of Nate and Will Stephens (Strength and Conditioning Coach). He was the only freshman I saw. The dude is ENORMOUS and looked mean and no-nonsense. I intuited all of this in about 20 seconds. That is all.
