If Josh Howard keeps improving at the rate he is right now, then I think he can definitley make that squad......but it will be very tough considering the draft class he came out ofthe kid has a very bright future(not just bein a homer)
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I didn't understand that Bogut prediction. Bogut is a hustler, he hustles, gets rebounds, and garbage points. I'm as big a fan of his as anyone, but there's no way he goes over 15/10. Even that is a stretch</div> He's averaging 9/7.5 playing 28 minutes a night right now and he NEVER gets the ball. There is no reason he can't average 18/11.

PG- Chris PaulSG- Dwyane WadeSF- LeBron JamesPF- Chris BoshC- Amare StoudamireDwight Howard as the last one out.

He will neer be like Shaq because:A) Shaq is a top 10 player ever (#2 in my books) Yao was raised and taught to play a different style of game. He won't change 20 years later.Yao won't be Shaq, he doesn't play like Shaq, he'll never be that strong, it just won't happen. Yao is showing positive sides, so let's celebrate him for what he is compared to what he won't be
Right now Yao is better then Shaq, He's playing at another level, if he can maintain it is a question but right now Yao is best, and likely will be the 1st team center in a few seasons, if not I see Emeka. Dwight might end up better then Emeka, but I doubt he'll be a C. Emeka is more built towards that, and has been playing it much more this season.As far as stats go, Emeka is still better then Dwight, His injuries have really effected his numbers. He'd probably average similar numbers other to rebounding if he wasnt for a part of the season, and his defensive abilities put him over him.
