NBA: Ranking all 30 starting centers for 2018-19

14. Dwight Howard, Washington Wizards

Dwight Howard’s time as a game-changing star in this league has been over for awhile now, and there’s a good chance his union with the Washington Wizards only stirs the pot of locker room troubles they endured last season with Marcin Gortat.

However, he’s still capable of making an impact on both ends of the floor, and if the Wizards can turn him into a screener and effective rim-runner, he’ll be a great complement to the John Wall–Bradley Beal backcourt in pick-and-roll sets.

At 32 years old, Howard just posted 16.6 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game with the Charlotte Hornets. He probably won’t score as much in D.C., but if he can accept his role — a big “if,” to be sure — he’ll at least be a solid on-court addition and an improvement on Gortat.
