Centers

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Monday 13 November 2006 at 6:23 pm

The Magic is moving Dwight Howard from power forward to center, and he will dominate the paint even more at center than he did at power forward.  Last season, Howard averged 15.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.  The sky is the limit for Howard who is adding new tricks to his offensive arsenal and will only get better as a player, which should be scary to the rest of the NBA.  For his young career, Howard has averaged 13.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.5 blocks per game.

Darko Milicic will be the back-up center and he could really blossom this season with the added playing time he will get this year.  Milicic averaged 4.8 points & 2.7 rebounds last season.  Milicic is a tough player under the basket and he’s good in the open court.  He just never got the chance to prove how good he was with the Pistons.  Milicic has averaged 3.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game over his young career.

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Monday 13 November 2006 at 6:15 pm

Hedo Turkoglu will be looking to build on his good year last season with the Magic.  Last season Hedo averaged 14.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.  Turkoglu is a good shooter (38.8% career 3′s) that stretches the opposing defense.  For his career, Turkoglu has averaged 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.

Trevor Ariza will be the back-up for the Magic.  Ariza is a very athletic, open court type of player.  Ariza has averaged 5.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game over his career.
