Rebounding has nothing to do with your vert, if you box out you'll get also rebounds. But if you don't box out it's about how tall you are and if you have a nice vert. I think a higher vert will help you out with your shot, lay-up (you can get higher over ppl), and ofcourse a block. A good block has also to do with timing

How does a high vert help with lateral speed?

vertical is important in ur jumpshot too it can help u out alot in general but if u don't have a big vert it doesn't mean u have no game u just have to find other ways

I think youll be able to do these things better:

Rebound (out jump your opponent)
Block (jump higher to block those shots)
Shoot (elevating higher on your shot)
Hustle (become faster because of stronger legs)
Dunk (depends on how much you increase it by)

What do you guys think?

dunk also depends on you height. Junping higher also gives u more psyche and confidence
