    Drew Gooden and Juwan Howard are already on the power forward spot.
    So, what will orlando do with him, or Gooden & Howard because their value is increasingly decreasing...

    Trade or Bench Howard and switch him in and out with Gooden.

    Howard is better as starting. I say put him as Center, Declerq sucks anyway. Also most Magic players play better off as sparks, meaning off of the bench. Especially players like Gooden and Boykins, they're like the best sparkplugs.

    You could put him at any position because i've heard he has some guard skills.He is really talented and athletic.I agree with magic they should start him and give him minutes.Look at Lebron and Carmelo, they got minutes and they got better and better not like Darko.If you don't give him time to play, he won't improve alot.

    He is a great power forward, in the garnett mold a.k.a a dominant player in the paint with a good perimeter game. As a SF, he will be too slow to guard Carter, Anthony, Mashburn, Pierce, Stackhouse, Kirilenko, etc...
    But he can be a real monster inside...

    Got to agree with you man. This is the reason why Hunter will come out a better player somewhere else. We just don't give him alot of minutes. You can't prove yourself unless someone gives you a chance. Good post man

    Dwight Howard?

    Where to play Dwight Howard??

    Is this like a Freudian slip??

    I've been thinking with Orlando's bomb season they are for sure to be in the running for the no. 1 pick...which Dwight has a 99.9999999% chance of being.

    I would love to see Dwight with the MAGIC!!

    Somehow get Juwan Howard out of there through trades or come draft time through trades/trade up and get Dwight.

    I believe Dwight and Drew in the frontcourt could work.

    Dwight as a 5 if his weight is around 240-250 and Drew in his natural 4 spot.

    Dwight and Drew combining to bring some toughness that the MAGIC desperately needs would be...here comes a cliche'...MAGICAL!!

    Just-Magic, that's the problem with the Magic, we never play our young guys. Gaines for example has gotten like 20 mins the whole season. Hunter and Zaza never play anymore.

    I would start him at SF and Gooden at pf, with Zaza at center.
