The only player that has ever benefited from Hakeem's tutelage was Kobe, a Guard. I blame Chuck and Shaq for brainwashing Dwight into thinking he was a post-up center.
But Chuck just told Dwight he 's just a bench player now and he should accept the role of a bench player.
LeBron got a little bit out of it as well, but not as much as Kobe did. Dwight got a lot out of it. People forget the one or two games he had after the Hakeem workouts and he had a legit post arsenal. And then the hesitation kicked in. Dwight would have been an all time legend if he was mentally stronger.
Biyombo has a 9'4 -5 standing reach and a 7-6+ wingspan yet has all the lateral quickness a guy 6'11+ with those measurements wouldn't have except Durant.
Strange question. All things equal, hell no... Even with his warts, a declining Dwight is still way better.
