NBA.com has someone at the US National Team training camp. Here is a report from week 1. Here are the Dwight related notes.

LeBron teaches Dwight a lesson

On the potential starters

Howard is a center in my opinion, and on the Nuggets board I listed him as the starting center in my projected starting 5.

Howard is very big, and very mobile. you cant beat that. This guy could dominate like another certain somebody that started his career in orlando.

a healthy howard is a future hall of famer

^ Agree.

Wade and Howard shall rule the SE divisiion for years to come.

Wish the season would hurry up and start.

Interesting comparisons about Dwight/Shaq and Wade.

Reminds me of Shaq, Penny and Dennis Scott in Orlando being today of Dwight, Jameer and Redick.
Tim Hardaway in Miami as Dwayne Wade

it's strange how the nba comes in full circle sometimes.

dont see the penny and jameer comparison

dont see the hardaway and wade comparison.

29.7 ppg 13.6 3.03 blocks per game. That was Shaqs best year in the league.

You guys all gotta remember howard was born less than a month away from the year 1986. So he'd still be in school.

Id guess in shoes Howard probably is a legit 7'0 like Shaq. His weight currently is listed at 265. In the next couple of years he could be even more of a physical speciman if we thought that was possible. maybe 270 or 280. And still have a low body fat and be mobile.

wonder what shaq weighed at 19 or 20?

howard probably wont outscore what shaq did in his prime at close to 30 PPG, but he will out rebound him, and could be able to block more shots too.

But i'm one of those that would tell you Id rather have Wilt Chamberlain in his prime than Shaq in his prime, so take my thoughts on Dwight with that in mind.

Almost everyone one would take Wilt over Shaq in their primes. Wilt is the single most dominating player in NBA history.

nbanoitall

no question, but if you went to the nba forum and took a poll, it would be very close, and shaq might even win it

http://basketballboards.net/forum/sh...d.php?t=291273

just started a wilt shaq poll for ya

Well, most if not all of us have never seen Wilt play. I'm not sure I wouldn't take Shaq over Wilt. I don't think Wilt would have been any more dominant in today's NBA than Shaq was. I think the choice is arguable.

Never trust the general consensus on here. Not to offend anyone, but I never take any of the polls on here into consideration when deciding who is better. A lot of people vote without being informed at all about their choices. I'd much rather hear the argument from good posters than decide who's better via a poll.

Dwight is looking huge. He must have been in the gym a ton this summer.

Yeah, Dwight is seriously filling into his frame. It was possible to tell he could put on some serious muscle and weight by looking at how broad his sholders were when in highschool.
