re: TDBA Week 10

Yes I'd say he's more effective in the post. Is he as good defensively? No probably not he's lost a little athleticism with the surgery but he is now top 3-4 as an interior defender instead of hands down #1.

Did you know that last night he went for 24 and 17? I'd guess that there have only been a handful of players who have had 20pt/15reb games all year. And Dwight has more than 1.

Of course I knew. I have him in the Pels league. But he's had those nice game when he was in Orlando too.

Dwight is a good player, not poo pooing him, but I'm not sure that after his body grew into it is now, and has all these years under his belt to hone his skills, I don't think I've seen that much improvement. Maybe his left hand going to the jump hook, maybe?

Dwight had the skills and the body to challenge Shaq as the most dominant force down low. I just feel he came up wayyyy short in that comparison. Am I off?

He didn't have the skills. He never developed the footwork that Shaq had in the post. Shaq is much much bigger and stronger than Dwight. Dwight can jump higher but Shaq prob has 60+ lbs on him for most of his career.

I'm sure D12 missed by a couple pts or rebs at times too. In none of Dwights 20/15 games did he have only 20 pts so if I wanted to I could've said something like 22/15 and excluded more of other players games while still including Howards.

So if you had to start a franchise today. Are you taking Davis or Howard?

Ok I think Dwight was a better athletic big than Shaq. Shaq was more powerful and unstoppable, and intimatating. Forget that. My only question to you is "Has Dwight's play improved over the time he's been in the league starting in Orlando, to where he is now in Houston?

Davis has 6 20/14 games. Howard has 4

Davis has 8 30/10 games. Howard has 1

Davis has 17 double dubs. Howard has 13

This is fun

13 double doubles in 18 games (72%)

v

17 in 29 games (58%)

Not sure why you're manipulating stats to try to pump Davis, I was comparing Dwight to the whole league not just one player. 20/15 is a fair #.. not like I looked up 20/15 beforehand to see if it would beneift Dwight. Fact is, Dwight is comparable with pretty much anyone in the league when it comes to putting up monster scoring/rebounding games.

Now I'm going to bed. Going play Oak Harbor in the morning. If you wanna come play and lose in skins, come on down. Then after that, we can go to Napoleon and I'll school you in some hoops.

I'd stay on the Northshore instead of making the ride down to Napoleon if I were you.
