    I was thinking we could use this thread to discuss the development of Dwight Howard's post game in his first season with the Rockets. I don't know if he will (or should) be a the featured #1 option, but I'm nevertheless keen to see how his post moves evolve.

    This thread is intended to collect videos of Dwight in the post, discuss what his strengths and weaknesses in the post are, and how we should try to take advantage of his post abilities.

    Here is a nice SI article from a few days back by Lee Jenkins discussing Dwight Howard's potential to improve under the tutelage of Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin McHale:

    Also, here are some videos provided by batkins from game 1 of Dwight Howard successfully converting in the post. It would be great to get some videos on unsuccessful post touches as well to better track how his effectiveness evolves during the season.
