Variables for test rebounding model

With the player tracking data now available, I hear it is possible to track some details of player movement related to the rebounding task as well as in zone / out of zone rebounding as well as contested / uncontested opportunities and captures. If a general rebounding model was assembled I assume one would also want to check / possibly use measures of height, standing reach, 2 footed vertical leap, weight, speed, experience in yrs and / or minutes, usage which may distract from rebounding task, etc. Does anyone have access to all this and want to develop and test a general model? Ideally the probability map of where a rebound goes when shot from a specific court location is compared to where a player is at time of shot and time the ball is reachable to rebound so that one can look at rebounding intelligence / expected rebounding as well as actual rebounding (with the difference between expected rebounds and actual being affected by luck and the net affect of difference between expected rebounding of other players actually on court and the average situation a player or that particular player faces.

What would you change or add?

I said all this but did any recent research do most of this? I know a major rebounding paper was presented at Sloan last year. Should dig it up but forgot to look in advance.

Here is that paper. http://www.sloansportsconference.com/wp ... unding.pdf
It is an important resource but much of what I suggested above remains undone.
