Man, I love watching Dwight Howard play, but the analysts always take about his game needs to evolve on the offensive end. Personally after checking out Dwight Howard's frame and his mechanics...I just don't believe that he can be a great post player on the offensive end. He doesn't have the footwork or just the mechanics period for the Hakeem and McHale moves. Also improving his free-throw shooting will not happen either because for some reason he acts like he can't extend his arms on the release. C'mon man, that release on your free-throws has got to change for you to become a reliable free-throw shooter especially if your a star player. In the clutch I know his team and coach has to be sweating bullets when he's at the line.
But with all that being said, you cannot go wrong with his defense and rebounding. Those are the two crucial ingredients to winning and winning a championship. He rebounds and blocks shots at a very high rate which allows his to score points because he is very active on the offensive glass. His offensive rebounding allows him to get a lot of cheap buckets which boosts his points per game, but lets don't get this confused with him being an offensive threat. If you notice the Boston Celtics are playing Dwight straight up and not double teaming him, which is smart because he doesn't have a go to post move and he can't kick it out to open shooters, so that messes up there whole offensive plan.
All in all, Dwight is a really good player, but needs to evolve a little before he is considered great.
