Dwight Howard Should Get More Chances Offensively

For a team that has their difficulties shooting the basketball like the Atlanta Hawks do, it’s interesting that they rarely run any post-up sets on offense designed for center Dwight Howard.

While they have helped their own cause in that regard by adding Mike Dunleavy Jr., Ersan Ilyasova, and most recently Jose Calderon, they’re still dreadful.

Atlanta currently ranks 26th in the league in three-point shooting with a success rate of 34.1. They also attempt the 18th most shots from out there, with 26 per game according to teamrankings.
