    As far as domination, well, that might take a while for the 18-year-old making the leap from high school to the pros.

    Howard's debut in a summer-league game at RDV Sportsplex was fairly impressive when he didn't have the ball. He blocked four shots and altered four others, showing the Magic he will immediately help the worst defense in the league. He also grabbed 11 rebounds.

    Offensively, Howard struggled mightily, missing 12 of 13 shots and scoring just seven points in the Magic's 89-73 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

    Welcome to the NBA, kid -- the NBA lite at that.
