How Andrew Bynum trumps Howard
quote:
Justin DeFeo, Nets Are Scorching: Bynum. Dwight's on-court product hasn't changed, but it was his off-court shenanigans that left a sour taste in the mouth of the public this year. Campaigning to have Stan Van Gundy fired, constant flip-flopping and overall aloofness have made Howard look less like an easygoing star and more like an insecure teenager.
James Herbert, Hardwood Paroxysm: Bynum. This isn't about the numbers, even though they're closer than they've ever been. While the Lakers big man has had some immature moments, he's also had a breakout season. Bynum has had more touches and more minutes than ever before and he's taken advantage of them. Howard's still the better basketball player, but it's hard to call this soap opera of a season a "good" one by his standards.
Daniel Nowell, Magic Basketball: Strictly on-court production? There's no doubt that Dwight Howard has -- despite everything -- had the better season. But combine Dwight's image implosion with Bynum's continued growth, and you have to wonder if perhaps the Lakers don't prefer the center they have, even if he's occasionally difficult to manage in his own right.
Tom Sunnergren, Philadunkia: Andrew Bynum. Statistically, these guys are actually a lot closer than you think. Howard scores 0.6 more points and grabs almost two more rebounds every 48, while Bynum connects from the stripe at a rate that's 20 percent higher. But while they're also much closer than we think in the insubordination/generally despicable behavior department, I'm giving the (slight) edge to Bynum there and overall.
