Actually, you should be looking at Gasol.

Those weren't incredibly dominant numbers considering he spent a lot of time being guarded by Lewis. And what's with the low rebounds?

Stop being an idiot.

One thing that should be kept in mind is that Howards rebounding improved greatly once Rashard was signed. Rashard is a very weak rebounder at the 4 which allows Howard to get more rebounds.

Zo was a better shotblocker. Howard got 2.9 blocks in his best year. Zo had 6 seasons getting that or better.

Howards offensive skills are lame. If he can't get to the rim he is pretty worthless. Zo wins by default here.

I would take Zo.

Exactly.

So LACF, you'd rather have Kaman than Howard?

Is there really anything else left to be said? End this thread already, Dwight wouldnt even be a top 5 center in the 90's, this has been discussed before.

There are a ton of centers who didn't score well unless they were near the rim. His offense isn't flashy or inredible, but it isn't lame. He did have 2 20 ppg seasons on very efficient percentages.

Zo was a better shot blocker than Dwight is at the moment, but Dwight is only 24. At least 3 or 4 years from his prime.

As far as rebounding, that works in two ways. Often times, Dwight is the only Magic player down there jumping for a rebound against 2 or 3 of the opposing teams players. This is Magic's fans biggest complaint, is that Dwight has to go up against 2 or 3 players constantly.

I'd rather have Howard because Kaman has the same issues with heart and Howard is a better player.

But we are talking about Zo here...who was way better than Howard.

It's Dwight but it's close
