    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Orlando Magic have signed forward-center Dwight Howard, General Manager John Weisbrod announced today. Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed.

    Howard was taken with the first overall pick of the 2004 NBA Draft. He became the third player in NBA history to be selected with the first overall pick directly out of high school (LeBron James, 2003; Kwame Brown, 2001).

    Howard (6?11?, 240, 12/8/85) finished his career at Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy with 2,146 points, 1,728 rebounds and 811 blocked shots in 129 games. As a senior, he averaged 25.0 ppg., 18.0 rpg., 3.5 apg. and 8.00 blkpg., while leading Southwest Christian to the 2004 Class A Georgia state championship. </div>
