How does Howard interpret his NBA career as a traditional center in the league?

In fact, Dwight Howard is more like a modern center than a traditional center. Yao Ming, Al Jefferson and other centers with excellent inside skills, back-hitting skills and rebounding ability are more likely to be called traditional centers, while Howard is more like an enhanced version of modern centers such as clint capela, Rudy Gobert and Andre Jordan, and of course, Howard at his peak.

At the peak of Howard's career, he had a strong influence in the inside, and his excellent physical fitness allowed him to do whatever he wanted in the inside. However, compared with his attack, Howard's defense is the most deterrent place. Being elected as the best defensive player in NBA for three consecutive seasons is enough to show the defensive ability of Warcraft. However, after being troubled by a back injury, Howard's athletic ability decreased and his moving speed slowed down. For him who has no projection ability, his influence will naturally drop a lot.

After joining the Lakers, Howard's influence has declined a lot, but he once led the team to the finals, still hoping to maintain the core style of play, rather than participating more in the pick-and-roll with defenders, especially Kobe Bryant, which led to some contradictions between the two sides. In the end, Howard changed clubs and joined the Houston Rockets.

Obviously, although Howard can still hand over a good data sheet, his influence on the game is getting smaller and smaller. In fact, the influence of the center position has been reduced as a whole. Although his performance during the effectiveness of the Rockets was acceptable, the spark was obviously not the core position. With the frequent change of owners, Howard began to change his style, participate in roll-and-roll, and enhance his projection.
