Philadelphia 76ers: Dwight Howard should return as a third string center

This past season, the Philadelphia 76ers had two future Hall of Fame centers on their roster. Their current MVP level big man Joel Embiid appears to be going no way, but backup center Dwight Howard could be a different story.

Howard certainly wasn’t the worst backup that Embiid has had in his career. That honor goes to Greg Monroe. With that being noted, at the age of 35 years old, Howard isn’t getting any younger and his play this past season reflected it.

Howard did bring some positive qualities to this Sixers’ roster that could be valuable to the club again next season.
