How many players would you choose ahead of him in providing total impact.
Games missed stays the same but he remains healthy as he was for the postseason.
Top 20?
Top 30?
Even lower?

I came here to do two things: get lost and slice **** up & I'm all out of directions.

Re: Where does Howard rank this year?
Well if you seriously mean he still only plays 41 games, half a season, then there might be 50 guys who mattered more in some sort of total contribution scale.
Ignoring that for a moment, playoff Dwight put up a DeAndre type statline:
16.4pts 14.0reb 1.2ast 2.2blk and I think realistically could still put up a 16-17pt 12-13 rebound season. He's just not a major star anymore, but that sort of production combined with still good defense could nudge him up half a class from a Zach Randolph. So mostly healthy for most of the season still Top 30 I think. He's got a solid argument over the Atlanta bigs etc.
But if he's only playing 41 games then obviously 2nd and 3rd tier guys from lower on the lists begin to pass him in season long contributions.

I'm not sure he's top 50. This is a totally random list of players who helped their team more than Dwight did this years
Steph
Harden
Lebron
Paul
Blake
Jordan
Kawhi
Duncan
Horford
Korver
Butler
Lowry
Dirk
Monta
Greek Freak
Westbrook
Lilliard
Aldridge
Wade
Cousins
Davis
Gasol
Gasol
All of those players provided more value in 2015 than Howard. If I put any thought into this I could come up with more names. He is even worse when you factor in how much salary he eats up relative to production. I don't factor that in but GMs do.

The month of healthy Dwight we saw was top 15.
Outside of that who really knows/cares?

Re: Where does Howard rank this year?
Felt like he had an higher impact than Harden in the playoffs.
At least he is more consistent.
