Patrick Ewing?
9 shots a game is on himself - he gets what he gets since he doesn't have a face-up game

*and for those people saying that Dwight has no real post game, this is true. BUT..you still have to find a way to get him the ball in a position where he canscore. How many times do the Magic run a pick and roll for Howard? Seems to me like like that would be a good way to get him more involved.

Ben Wallace only dominated on one side of the court...Originally Posted by grittyman20
@ "teams revolve around the PG and the SG"...you need a legit post threat to win a championship. Outside of Michael Jordan, can you tell me the last time a team without a dominant big won the title? I'll wait.

That Pistons had a legitimate post thread in Rasheed Wallace...and a coach in Larry Brown that demanded he post up more often.

i dont care if he doesnt have post moves, dwight howard should at least shoot the ball 20 times..
but thats what happens when you're surrounded by shooters.

Plus there's more reliable offensive weapons on the team now than a few years ago. And its working in their favor the Magic's win total have increasedas his shots go down. At this point he's a more athletic and glorified Kendrick Perkins.

I loved the idea of Ewing being his coach, because by now I assumed Dwight would have developed a back to the basket, post game. So then once that wasthere, he could incorporate a little shooting into his game to make him much more versatile and dangerous and Patrick would have made perfect sense.
I really think Dwight just can't learn well. He's been in the league long enough that he should have SOME post moves, maybe improve his FT%,but that hasn't been the case. So I'm not really surprised Ewing's coaching hasn't really shown so far, I think Dwight is just a stubbornlearner.
It's a shame because he's one of my favorite player's in the league, I really expected a breakthrough this past year, but I've beendisappointed.

Jump shooting team, what ya expect?
This all falls on the coaching. They can easily be a halfcourt inside-out kind of team but they choose not to be. They let the perimeter players make plays andthat won't bode well em'.

Horrible post up game & bad foot work in the post.
If he were playing for the Lakers was playing in the triangle offense & had Kareem mentoring him a few years Dwight would be just as dominant as Shaq wasduring the 3 peat years.
Right now Bynum
12 on post up moves and foot work. But D12>>>Bynum on defense & rebounding.

If he's not dunking on somebody, he has no moves down low. It's a shame too, because he probably has the most natural athletic ability in the league.

Mathematics, for not having 9 as a bigger number.
