    Re: Dwight didnt work on his post game in the offseason?

    Bynum....before....the injuries...or after....

    Before the injuries I probably would agree with the comment. But since the injuries. He still looks like he sniff. Sometimes his moves look robotic. Like they are not natural to him. Right now it seems to me when scores its because he is taller then everyone.


    But with Howard....Right now he really doesn't need any moves. He probably could be way more effective if he did. I also don't see him really get better moves until he hurts knees or something down low. I think the samething about LeBron James. He probably needs an injury to get better at shooting

Look at Kobe he is learning his post moves from Hakeem and he is beasting right now in the post. Come on Dwight he should of able to shoot at 5 feet by now.
      LOL that's the problem. Hakeem > Ewing.

              Most players like Dwight Howard and LeBron James. Who's athletic ability can carry them through their early career. Usually need to get hurt or old to develop other parts of their game. Great example are Amare and Grant Hill. They have improved their jumpshots a lot from since injuries (there are others).

                    Ive seen Ewing do that move a million times.

                    The first few times I saw Dwight try it, I recognized it instantly and I couldnt figure out why he was doing this.

                    Then it clicked with me that Ewing is on the coaching staff and it made sense.


                    Every time Dwight tries to "The Ewing" it results in either a turnover, or a miss.

                    He'll ocassionally get fouled due to the sheer awkwardness of the move, and depending on how Dwight is shooting foul shots taht night, it might as well be a turnover anyway.

                    Anyway, Ive been saying the same thing about Dwight since opening night now.

                    I just dont think he has the foot coordination to be a good low post player.

                    I also do not believe he's blessed with natural, soft, hands.

                    Shaq in his prime had a soft baseline jump hook, and almost always caught and handled the ball cleanly.

                    Dwight doesnt posess this skill.


                    What he is blessed with, is extreme, raw physical gifts, which are able to mask his lack of hand-eye-foot coordination.

                    If he isnt catching the ball off of a pick and roll, a lob, off of the rim, or beating his man with his first step; Dwight isnt scoring.

                    I dont think its a lack of effort, or not wanting it...I just dont believe he has the skill level.

                      ^ great assessment, i agree. he's young too, but there are no flashes of him ever being a great post player. you would at least see little flashes here and there, a pretty post move or two, but the only potential you see from dwight is insane athleticism and not much else. i think he's already peaking and he's going to be the same player he is now throughout his career. in my opinion, andrew bynum can become the best center in the nba if he continues his progression on the offensive end.

                      also, his personality is a little too soft to ever become as dominant as shaq. shaq was a bad man and would let you know about it. dwight will smile and laugh with you during the game. he doesn't have the mindset or the skill level

                        but if he can face up his defender and explode past... why would he need a low post move w/ his back to basket.

                          In my opinion, Dwight needs to develop power and power moves instead of delicate Ewing-moves. Ewing was Ewing, Dwight is something else. Ewing could shoot from almost anywhere, except for 3. Dwight is more of a Shaq kind of centre, but he doesn't have the power Shaq had. It's like taking Amare and coaching him to play like Ilgauskas...why would you do that?! I think Dwight needs another mentor. Maybe when Shaq retires, he'll get the mentor he needs.

                            He needs to be able to turn in both directions, finish over both shoulders, and have solutions for both the baseline and the middle. Lakers scouted him out, forced him baseline and knew exactly what he was going to do. It made him significantly easier to defend and scheme against. He has to outgrow that scouting report.

                              But hes not a good passer.... so lets say he gets one or two moves...he still has to learn how to pass from the post without turning it over (which he was doing at first...at an EXTREMLY high rate)

                                His touch around the basket is not very good.

                                And he only has 1 post move.
