Bynum got big.
I think he'll be better than Howard, and it won't even be close.

Wow, he bulked up tremendously. He's freaking huge! I don't know what his momma has been feeding him since he started rehabbing.
As far as being better than Howard... I don't think so. But he will be a beast on the block. I think, in the end, he'll have a more polished offensive game than Howard will. Don't hate yourself in the morning... sleep 'til noon.

Agreed with the Howard thing..............the only thing Bynum will have on Howard is a better arsenal of moves (thanks to Kareem behind the scences) But he will never be as dominant and nimble as Howard is..............Howard is huge but lean and quick, a quicker and higher jumper than Bynum and in my mind stronger. We shall see. |

bynum and howard will both be great in to different aspects of the game. they both will score, but bynum will eventually be more of a scoring center. they both will defend, but howard will give you close to 3 blocks a game and bynum maybe 1-2. they will both be rebounding beasts, but with howard agility and stooper length i think he may average a couple more than bynum.

yeah, but at least oden's was expected. When he got injured last year, he told us he was gonna be doing that (i.e. get bigger). I think Bynum getting big was more of a shocker. Either way, the NBA better hope these kids stay healthy, cuz chances are they can be fun to watch for a long time |

Patrick's an Assistant Coach with the Magic yep, and does all the things an assistant coach does............but Kareem is a special assistant, who was employed soley to work with Bynum. Plus, Patrick didnt have anywhere near the moves Kareem had.

Ewing may not have made a great post player out of anyone yet but the guy was one of the best Centers and I do think he is comparable to Kareem. Not as good but not far off   migya make the ring fall on ya |

Not doubting Ewing in any way...............its just that he was a power player, who then turned into a pure mid-range jump shooter. Where as Kareem was all finess and had a wide array of moves to pull. Hence, I believe that Kareem would have more to teach Bynum in terms of moves and variety of scoring, whereas Ewing can mold Howard into the power beast that he is already. |

I understand what you're saying, and Kareem did have a great offensive game but Ewing was more than just a power player. He had a great turn around jumper on the baseline, hooks and unorthodox drives to the basket that were effective. He should be teaching Dwight Howard to get a jump shot and some skills inside, besides just power like Dwight does migya make the ring fall on ya |
