Philadelphia 76ers: The weirdness of Dwight Howard

With Dwight Howard, less is more. The Philadelphia 76ers continue to get a strangely mixed bag.

The Philadelphia 76ers have gotten what they paid for with Dwight Howard. Making the veteran minimum of $2.6 million, the 35-year-old is averaging 5.8 points and 7.7 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per contest. He has appeared in all 24 games, and is a fixture in the second unit behind Joel Embiid.

Given his age, nobody rightfully expected a flawless season from Dwight. He is far removed from his All-Star days, and there’s no Defensive Player of the Year award in sight.
