Dwight doesn't look good in the jumper-heavy FIBA competitions. He's right about free throws, but his defense was good. In fact, the US would've gained a bigger margin over Spain had D12 stayed in the game more.

CR is a bag of hot air.

I wouldn't waste my time reading him.

Howard did what he was told to do. That's not a D. But, Howard was often a liability. I would give Howard at best a C+ for his Olympic efforts.

I was really hoping no over Magic fans would have to see this as it was up in the NBA General section last week.

Couldn't agree more... I kno DH's frees were a liability, but I think they took Dwight out early in the third, and I was pretty confused. Foul trouble may have been the cause, but he didn't have a chance to become "that presence in the paint"

Charley probably had nothing better to do... I understand his points, but to have a grading system on Gold medal winners is beyond me. If that's the case, then I believe the entire squad deserves an A+++

D+? What?

Yea, Dwight isn't the typical FIBA Player anyways, ill give him a C because his defense was pretty good, it was just the free throw shooting that killed him, i really hope that doesnt translate over to the season...

I'll give him a Gold Medla.

Top that Rosen.

Unfortunately this seems like it will be a major problem again. I also don't see any improvement in his offensive game but to be fair he was focused on the Olympics. I am hoping that dwight will soon start working on his game or he will never be more than a Ben Wallace type and with that said he would need to start having an attitude. I am hoping for more out of Dwight.
