Is Dwight Really Dominant?

SevenSecondsOrMess does a great job breaking down video.  Today, it’s Dwight Howard and his offensive game under the microscope.  Once again, TV analysts seem to accept some misconceptions about Dwight Howard being a dominant player.  Even last night, in a monster game, he didn’t score very often on an offensive move.  He dominated the boards.  He dunked a lot.  He intimidated the Celtics every time they got into the lane.  He was dominant in that regard.  But this video is a great breakdown of what Dwight does in the post, and what he needs to work on.

I’m a big fan of Dwight.  I think this kid is on the cusp of being a great player, not just big and athletic.  If he develops a couple of go-to offensive moves and a short jumper, then forget it… game over… fit him for a handful of rings.  Until then, he’s immensely talented, but flawed to a point where it can cost his team.
