    He's a great athlete, but he's a PF...

    That's what people always forget. lol. For some reason they made him into a C when he is a banger PF in any other era. Imagine him alongside Hakeem or David Robinson. Shit would be ugly. Any big who had a little jumper and could defend a C would make Dwight into a beast. Even Sabonis.

    Yeah Dwight came in to the league as a PF. Played it next to Darko and Battie for a bit. Problem is he has none of the skills (range, ball handling, etc) to properly play PF. All the best PF's in history had/have a midrange jump shot (I never watched Pettit tho).

    He absolutely used to be one of the most physically dominating players that have played in this league. His athleticism hasn't been the same since the back surgery tho

    If you ignore the Superman dunk, his other dunks were ridiculous.
