All good points by KANE.
Three areas where Dwight Howard came to mind when Bam Adebayo was on the losing end of a Boston beatdown last night: 1) The wide shoulders, 2) the imposing presence in the lane and 3) getting lost offensively with the ball in his hands, his back to the basket and the shot clock winding down.
When Adebayo was at Kentucky, NBA scouts compared his game to Dwight Howard's.
Bam took great offense to the comparison.
Most likely for many of the same reasons Kane listed.
I disliked Dwight Howard's game because he never really improved as the years went on.
And when the league changed to a pick-and-pop league, he became a dinosaur.
I'll be interested in tracking Bam's progress through the years.
By the way, Dwight Howard is listed one inch taller and 10 pounds heavier than Bam Adebayo.
