Fantasy Analysis
There are no better Fantasy centers in the NBA, period. There are better offensive big men in the game, but none have the combination of points, rebounds and blocks that Howard does and the scary thing is that Howard can stand to improve. He may eventually catch up to Yao Ming and Amare Stoudemire as centers who can average around 25 points per game. (Updated 04/19/2008).
Howard managed only eight points and 12 rebounds as the Magic lost 90-89 to Detroit to fall behind 3-1 in their Eastern Conference semifinal series. (Updated 05/11/2008)
Advice
The Pistons held Howard in check all game, forcing several turnovers on Magic passes inside and largely preventing the All-Star from getting the ball near the rim. They double-teamed and banged him around but didn't commit many fouls on the 59 percent free throw shooter. Howard had only two fouls shots, making both.
