NOTE FROM THE FORUM OWNER:

We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.

Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

Right now he isn't even a top 50 player. Probably not even a top 15 power forward.

wow...what more do you expect...compare dwight to a rookie KG or Amare Stoudemire and I am perplexed that you could even assume that he won't be able to rise to the status of those guys considering how he is doing at JUST 19 YEARS OLD and with coaching that gives him limited touches, and he is definitely a top 15 PF

I agree. He will be an all-star for years to come. And I expect him to be in the top-5 players when in 5 years or so.

yeah I think we need a dennis scott minde sharpshooter. by that I mean dennis knew the 3 was his bread and butter and the fans knew it to.So he will attempt 10 -15 three point shot a game it didn't matter if he was in a slump or not. take pat garrity I beg him all season to take more shot to open the game up for the rest of the team.

Yes I have watched the Magic this year and went to a game in the TD water house center. He is not a top 15 power forward I can name atleast 10 off the top of my head that are better. Gasol, Sheed, KG, Duncan, Webber, Rahim, Randolph, Bosh(close to 20 and 10 since VC has been traded), O'Neal, Okafor is that enough? Right now he is on Kurt Thomas's level which is good for a 19 year old for sure.

He's pretty close to Okafor right now. Next year he will be better than Okafor,as long as the new coach realizes that Dwight should get 15-20 shots a game. I can't wait to see how Jameer and Dwight develop for next year. Hopefully the last couple of games we can start giving Dwight 15 shots a game and see how he does.

I think Jerome Williams averaged a double double before and he is pretty much a scrub.

Jerome Williams is not even on the same planet as Dwight Howard.

By the way, did Bosh do better on his rookie year than Howard? I didn't think so.

Apparently not. Howard is already ranked 13 as a rookie. If he gets more touches, and learns to stay away from foul trouble, we will be in the top-10 in his position on his sophomore year. It won't take long before he cracks the top-5.
