Injury's last year also prevented that. I want him to put it together for a full year. The strength may or may not come, he has a wirey build. I know Howard will beat up everyone but a lot of the better bigs post big games on him. His man D is a bit overrated, he gives up an above average per.

Ok, I get where you're coming from. Yes in reality he's put together 1.33 years at a high level but was injured for 18 games last year, and didnt start in another 10 games because of lingering injuries.

And I havent studied what he gives up at all, so I can really speak to that.

I hope I am wrong and only playing devils advocate here by presenting the other side of it but there are serious concerns. He's got a lot of the same concerns deng has only he is definetly a difference maker lately.
