Dwight Howard is a fantastic basketball player but he's definitely not a #2 fantasy player. His FT% will guarantee you come in last in that category, he turns the ball over almost three times a game, zero threes, and very few assists. He'll dominate with points, rebounds, blocks and FG% but will absolutely kill your team in all other categories.
