Straight shooting: Hornets writers respond to the Wizards signing Dwight Howard

Dwight Howard is the most athletic big man Washington’s had since… Wes Unseld, maybe? Well – definitely since JaVale McGee. He has meat on his bones, and muscles on muscles – and three Defensive Player of the Year awards. Look at these stats: 32 points and 30 rebounds. Sure, it was against the Brooklyn Nets, but washed up players don’t drop numbers like that.

Admittedly, I didn’t watch the Charlotte Hornets play often this past season. I was busy watching another Southeast Division team underperform.
