Dwight Howard has been in the gym all summer working on his game. Much of it has been documented on his Instagram account, which has shown a glimpse of him working on post moves, free throws and mid-range shots. But the most telling video to date may have come from a shooting coach he's been working with.
@LethalShooter__ posted a video on his Twitter account of Howard making 11-of-15 shots from just behind the right elbow, a distance of what appears to be 18 feet. Howard, known mostly for post scoring on the offensive end, is clearly making an effort to expand his range and diversify his offensive game. It appears to be working, at least if the video below is any indication.
Coach Bud and his staff have been known to develop the range of their big men; just look at what guys like Paul Millsap, Al Horford and Mike Muscala were able to do while under his watch.
