Rebounding is about 90% effort, and that is no different on the offensive end. For a team that spreads it out like the Ducks do, players need to aggressively crash the boards from the outside. This can actually be more successful because it is harder to block out a player running in from the three point line than it is a player that is already under the basket. It seems that the Ducks are more focused on getting back on defense than consistently going for offensive rebounds. Whether that is a scheme choice, or an effort problem is hard to say. For next season, with the potential big lineup, I wouldn't expect the offense to change much. The base offense for Altman teams never really change. They run set plays every once in awhile to try and exploit matchups, but I would still expect the Ducks to spread the floor. the majority of the time. Which they can do because Bittle and Lawson can step out and shoot the three. They would play in a similar role to what Boucher did when he was playing for the Ducks.
