Dwight went 9-9 scored 21 points, Grabbed 9 rebounds and went 3-3 from the line in 22 minutes but his team lost 104-105 as kobe hit a game winning 3. only negative from him is he has 5 turnovers. http://aol.nba.com/usabasketball/boxscore.jsp
He was bull guarding Amare and everyone else who got in his way all night. He looks like a man among boys.
It would have been more impressive if he had made a shot outside of 2 feet. Dwight Howard is a man-child but he has to develop some more offensive skills. He doesn't need to get any bigger he has to get better. He can't rely on dunks for all of his points. His hands and his movement off of the ball has to get better too. He is really only relying on his physical gifts right now. Once he becomes more skilled he can possibly be the most imposing player in the league.

Even his rebounding skillset isn't overly impressive. He's relying more on his athleticism than his basketball I.Q. and fundamentals. Of course, this isn't a bad thing. It just shows how insane his game can become, and is even while being so raw. Hopefully Ewing sets Dwight up with some moves.
I know Dwight could improve his offensive big man moves. But I never understood why everyone complains all the time. If it's working everytime...why stop it. Sure add some moves but dont disregard his original arsenal all together.

It doesn't work all the time as is. Dwight's been held to 4 points before, because he can't score without at the least being inside the paint.

I just constantly hear DWight won't be a star till he develops his offensive game. When this guy is so young and he already is an ALLSTAR. Should he develop it more. yes. But I dont think its fair to say Dwight should be able to make 15 footers on a constant basis. I dont remember Shaq/David Robinson/Alonzo Mourning etc ever making 15 footers. So can he improve? yes but i dont think he has to make midrangers. He's a center. give him a break.

But anyways, I do agree that he doesn't need to revamp his game to more offensive moves, just add a little hook shot here and possibly a small jumper.
