Dwight showed us all what he is capable of against the Trail Blazers last Thursday when he posted a tremendous game of 32 points and 17 rebounds on 14-for-22 shooting. Moral of the story: get Dwight more shots. This season Howard is averaging 17.6 points  While James Harden is a great offensive talent, Houston that game showed they could contend with the second best team in the league by dumping it into the big man. While Dwight still has shown a lack of progression when it comes to developing post moves, he still is an efficient scorer in the post because of his strength. Just imagine is he got some actual moves in the paint.
