to get on my soapbox.... this is why most basketball players need to go to college for some time, this guy never developed the simplest of post moves. He Dunks... and he ummmm slams bricks off the backboard, the comparisions there trying to make to a young shaq are just nuts, he went and seasoned himself at lsu and had a presense that howard could only wish he had.... Howard is a beast of a physical being, but he's nowhere near the best center in the league, he has alot of learning to do..

Think how great the georgetown centers of the late 80's early 90's would have been if they went straight to the pro's... Now think if howard had gone to college 4 four years (he's be a senior this year).

Looking at hi stats Dwight Howard - Orlando Magic - Career Statistics - NBA - Yahoo! Sports

He has gotten better.... but has he truely gotten "that" much better?

NBA is for learning team play not for learning your skill so to speak... and do the players have the right to go straight to the nba from highschool sure.... But do some of these players need to be told that college is the place for them to learn.... heck yea

Ok off my soapbox
