Career Offensive Rebounding

Measures a player's career offensive rebounding production (OREB per game). Offensive rebounds create second-chance opportunities and are among the highest-value plays in basketball. While total rebounds are captured in the career_rebounding factor, this isolates the offensive glass specifically. Offensive rebounding requires hustle, positioning, and timing, and is largely effort-driven.
