I mean he is just incredibly stupid. He's so stupid I'm inclined to call it a gift. Its difficult for an NBA player to be that dumb, and that's saying something because there are some real dumb jocks in professional sports.
I'd venture he's bordering on the point where we have to start calling him special. Of course, special players do make the All-Star game... so yeah, maybe he could reach that point someday.
But man oh man is he a moron.

However, he is starting to mature mentally on the court, and with that he is producing more substance. With that, he will start playing more sound. He will continue to get stronger too. He SHOULD develop into an all-star. Who, besides DHoward, is young and has more potential in the east?

The only precedents we have are guys like Tyrus Thomas. There is a point where potential is no longer.
