Would you rather give Dwight Yao's post moves or Yao's free throw accuracy?

    There was a time period in the game tonight when D12 was getting the ball 1 to 2 feet within the restrictive zone on a consistent basis but failed to put the ball in or lossed/turned it over. D12 would be unstoppable if he could replicate Yao's fluid post moves.

    However, I figured teams would just do what Carlise did and keep fouling dwight if that was the case and we'd still be scrwed by his FT ability so I think I'd much rather have a D12 with Yao's FT accuracy instead.

    What say you guys?

    If Howard was THE go-to guy on offense, I'd say post moves.

    But Howard can already draw loads of fouls playing in the paint. And we have Harden. So FTs.

    Yah. D12 could definitely score more PPG if he just played off the PnR or in a manner like a prime Amare. I didn't watch much of the lakers last season....di D12 run PnR pretty well with Nash?

    Free throw since Howard can score, and this team has tons of offensive weapons besides him.

    u cant hack a howard for the whole game. until they do start haccking in the 4th, they gotta deal with his dominating post game.

    I actually prefer Dwight's offense over Yao's offense.

    Give me dunks and layups over 15 ft jumpshots any day.

    Free Throws without a doubt.

    Post moves and aesthetics are overrated if you can overpower your opponent and get to the rim anyway.

    Dwight was consistently getting to the rim against Deandre who people think should be DPOY. Dwight was just missing bunnies when he finally got there. At one point he missed a dunk that he wanted to put down all over Deandre's face. He was consistently getting fouled when he got deep post position.

    I like this question by the way. simple yet intriguing. nice.

    Post moves, Rockets paying Dwight the max and he's playing terrible offense.

    Free throws. Dwight's offensive ability, although limited, is effective enough to give him more free throws than Yao ever could.

    Dwight has Dream's moves but he never uses them because he doesn't believe he would have the space to operate. Giving him Yao's moves won't help.
    Yao's FT would be great but Dwight will need to take some muscles off to have the flexibility to pull it off.

    Yao's shooting touch, period.

    His primary offensive move was the little face up jumper.

    i think it's fair to point the finger at everyone.

    i can find fault with everybody's game at this particular junction in the season.

    casspi is probably the most faultless.
