Query 1946-47 - 2009-10
All players 6'11" or more
Total Career Minutes equal to or greater than 8,700
Career Rebounds per 36 minutes equal to or less than 6.0
Got one player. Guess who
Andrea
Now wait just a minute.
8700 is too high
lets lower it to career minutes equal to or greater than 5,000
That's better, I got two players
Career Rebounds per 36 minutes
Bargnani----6.0
B. Sellers---5.4

So it appears that Bargnani is not the worst rebounding 7 footer in NBA history.
Thank goodness
I lowered it even more to career minutes equal to or less than 3,000
Added one more player
Jonathan Bender who is listed at only 6'11" has a career rebounding rate per 36 minutes the same as Sellers at 5.4
http://www.basketball-reference.com/...l=&order_by=ws
So it looks like Bargnani brings home the bronze in this one
P.S. lowering the height to 6'10" or greater the count goes up to 13 players in NBA history who have played at least 3,000 career minutes and have averaged fewer rebounds per 36 minutes than Bargnani.
