As @Liam_Santa notes, Sydney's OREB% is by design.

And it's a big reason why they have the best defence in the league – also probably why they have the 2nd worst offensive rating…. https://t.co/q0C6lnEhTk

Once the shot goes up the Kings will usually send 1 guy to the glass (sometimes 2) the rest get back on D pic.twitter.com/fmKWO0TUQC
This illustrates the difference in philosophy quite well

Bogut drops back on D as shot goes up, while Plumlee crashes the glass… pic.twitter.com/lYQYNq0dEQ

Getting back doesn’t just help their transition D, but their defence as a whole. By getting numbers back they can set up their D earlier, which no doubt is a big reason why most teams have such a tough time scoring against them

Even with their relatively poor 3pt shooting, they actually have the 2nd best EFG% in the league. And they take care of the ball (3rd best TOV%)

So it’s not that the Kings are inefficient on Offence, they’re just getting less second chance points by prioritise getting back and setting the defence
