Within those 7 years I have found 2 shot charts from different years. The efficiency is unreal from mid range! The first chart is from 2017-2018 season.
The second chart is what he did in his last year with the Golden State Warriors.
So as we all know Dwight Howard is back in Los Angeles.
Again.
Last time we saw him in LA he was playing on a broken back. Kobe Bryant destroyed his ego and kick him out of town. Funny but seriously that’s what happened!
The question is….
What will LeBron James do if Dwight Howard doesn’t live up to expectations?😅
Check out Dwight Howard’s last year’s stats:
Ready to go:
Im not sure who or what the notion is that somehow Dwight Howard isn’t a serviceable big man. Because clearly the stats say otherwise. I must point out that last year stats are slightly skewed because in with the Wizards he only played 9 games.
Style of play:
Dwight should fit in well with his new team. He still can put up more than capable numbers as a big men. He’s capable of running the floor with ease as he has always kept himself in great shape. This is the year to show us that you got heart bro.
Dwight won’t get a lot of plays run for him so he’ll have to solo focus on defense , effort and rebounding. Also he has 15 year in the game. That basketball experience will definitely help! He will be entering his 16th year this upcoming season.
The Orlando Magic have decided to pick up his 12.3M option until the 2020-2021 season.
Meaning he has 2 years to prove himself in this league! Fultz may have found his future home if everything falls into place.
The Orlando Magic are putting their faith in the former number #1 draft pick.
Will Markelle Fultz ever get his mind and body right this season?
Eye Test:
We will immediately see if he’s ready or not. All I ask for him to do while on the court is play with passion!
Disappointing Start:
In his career he has played in 33 games all with the Philadelphia 76ers. He is only 21 years old and he will have a fresh start on a new team.
I am rooting for him!
I believe his problem early on was adjusting to the NBA’s lifestyle.
This time around he has to be mentally tougher or he will not get a another chance in this fickle league.
He was mishandled by the Philadelphia 76ers ; he should of been shut down and reevaluate immediately. Instead of forcing him to go out and play when he wasn’t ready to go at 100%! Hence why the 76ers gave up on him so prematurely. They needed players that could help them win now!
Fultz had immense promise coming out college. Sadly up to this point he has been a huge disappointment in the NBA.
Can you think of a #1 draft pick who has been more disappointing then Markelle Fultz so far?
The Sacramento Kings have a nice young core! This upcoming season should be promising!

My thoughts:
I think that they are right on the cusp to making the playoffs. This team has to and can take another leap from last season. But will it be enough? Early on it they come out the gate blazing expect them to make a trade to upgrade their starting 5! Because last year they were on the outside but I do believe that they will be fighting for that last playoff spot in the west!
Tyronn Lou was expected to go completely away after his coaching time in Cleveland. But he has made a change in his life by excepting an assistant coaching position from the Los Angeles Clippers. He will essentially be Doc Rivers right hand man.
What he was brought in for:
The Lebron specialist.
Tyronn Lou will be dangerously useful in the playoffs as he knows his neighbor’s best player (Lebron James) weaknesses & tendencies!😳
I believe this move was:
A calculated one , this moves screams checkmate but only if the clippers can personally eliminate the Lakers.
Tyronn Lou was put through a lot of stress and pressure coaching the Cleveland Cavaliers. Every year their expectations was to win the finals every year. And if he wasn’t able to deliver then he got the bulk of the blame. He couldn’t manage the amount of stress brought to him. It caused him to have serious health issues.
Tyronn Lue took time off from basketball to refocus , now I believe he is ready to contribute to the Los Angeles Clippers staff and personally take out Lebron James and the Los Angeles Lakers!
