You just need the right mix of players around him to take the pressure off. Which would be, guards who can penetrate at will and 3pt gunners.
You can't compare this year for Dwight and Bosh's solely on age, you count by the year they were in the league. Besides 1 year is nothing. Bosh's rookie year had Jalen Rose, Morris Peterson, Vince AND Donyell to take up all his shots and he was playing out of position. I don't think it's fair to compare Bosh's rookie season with Howard's sophmore season, who only had Francis this year to take some of his shots. And Francis is gone now, and dwight isn't proving much without Francis averaging basically the same numbers and the Magic sucking very badly.
