How Great Can Dwight Howard Become In The NBA
Dwight Howard is currently the best center in the NBA. He is a defensive force on the court and his known for his intimidating presence in the paint. But how good can he really become in the league? Let’s take a look at what he needs to work on to become one of the all-time greats.
What truly is holding Dwight Howard back from being named in the same breath as Shaq, Wilt, Kareem and Hakeem is his offensive game. He really doesn’t have one. Dwight has limited post moves around the basket and doesn’t have a great shooting touch. Dwight relies on overpowering his opponents to get his points. In order to become great he has to develop some signature post moves and work on his jump shot.
If Dwight Howard can extend his shooting range to 10-15 feet, he will be a virtually unstoppable force on the basketball court. Opposing teams will not be able to back off of him and he will be able to keep defenders honest. Hakeem had a virtually unstoppable fade away jump shot that made him an offensive force. In order for Dwight to take his game to the next level, he will need to develop something similar.
