WOW.....clap.....clap
i know what i wrote.
I still dont consider Dwight anything great on offense. Besides his athletic ability, he hasnt really developed any go to moves or like i said "consistent offensive game" 4th quarter dude is usually ignored by his team. On defense he's a man among boys but on offense.....its still yet to be seen. dude gets called for more offensive fouls down below because he's trying to just use strength instead of finesse. His left handed hook is still in the works. That running hook is eh. When Pau Gasol can give you issues on defense from last years finals......then you know your offense is still raw.
Like i said.....consistent.
First off, you fail to account for all the cheap FLOPPING that defenders pull on Dwight. I don't expect you to believe that just because you, like every sportscaster/analyst will casually say that Dwight NEEDS to get a low post game, which is pure garbage. If you even paid attention to the Magic this season you would know that for the most part Dwight is very consistent. The only times he has problems is against bigger, longer and stronger centers----and I mean, who freakin wouldn't?
Sure if he adds a jumpshot then he would rule the C position for the next decade, but ya, his offense is raw, nobody said it wasn't. But he has made huge strides since last season in terms of his offensive repertoire despite his PPG and FGA going down.
I would rather have a center who can beast inside the paint instead of a pussy finesse guy like Gasol...Just my opiniong though.
