True or False: Dwight Howard can score > 30ppg on > 50%...

[MichaelCorleone]

True.

[Sarcastic]

No. He doesn't have the skill to get that many shots off.

Getting good shots off is not any easy thing to do. Only people who have never played basketball think chucking is easy.

[LeGOAT]

40 ppg on 75% shooting in the 60's

[SilkkTheShocker]

40 ppg on 75% shooting in the 60's

[Milbuck]

On second thought, no.

No. If he had that kind of scoring ability someone would have taken advantage of it by now. McHale and Olajuwon may be changing this but he's just not that skilled.

What does skill have to do with anything? In 2002 Allen Iverson averaged 27.8 shot attempts to average 31.4ppg...there are literally dozens upon dozens of players who could have done that. Howard would not even need close to 27.8 (with the 9.8fta iverson averaged) shot attempts to average 31.4ppg

Am I saying that is good for the game? **** no. Howard could easily average those 31.4ppg on better efficiency than Iverson who everyone holds in such high regard when he was a selfish chucking asshole his entire career.

If not 30 ppg, what do you guys think the highest ppg he could manage with 50% FG% is?

[Jameerthefear]

Current Dwight 25 ppg. Big maybe tho

23-25 maybe.

[Bandito]

he'd turn it over too much too unless the offense was based more on PnR.

Correct.

[longtime lurker]

Anyone that says yes to this has never bothered to watch Dwight play

[navy]

Stop. Don't post an opinion about the Magic again ever.

It wasnt an opinion. They led the league in 3 point attempts for three straight years.

And im too lazy to find the stat, but Dwight was good at pick and roll and the Magic ran it alot.

[LAZERUSS]

I honestly don't know the answer to this, but it might give us a better clue...

How many 30+ point games has Howard had in his career, and then stretch that a bit to 40+?
