well im sorry but how many times have we heard this? "He just needs to develope his offensive game" or "Imagine if he only developed his offensive game." People have been saying this for 5 years now, since he got into the league, and during those five years the only thing he's taken any time to develop is a right handed spin move? gimme a break. Maybe in another 5 years he might develop a 10- footer... Maybe in another 5 after that a left handed hook shot. really Dwights offensive game is a complete disappointment. His fundamentals are absolutely terrible. He catches the ball and brings it down, below his waist, EVERY TIME, prone to getting stripped cuz hes going for a big dunk. he still hasn't learned to catch the ball hold it above his head, like say a Pau and Yao Ming do. He takes no time to perfect the only part in his game that needs work. His free throw percentage is bad, he cant be relied on late in the game.
Unlike Yao he's lucky to be surrounded by 4 other all-stars, thats how he made it to the finals. If Dwight played on the Rockets it wud be a first round exit again, and i doubt they wud make the play-offs.
In terms of Defense yes Dwight is the best, but not that much, Yao still avg.s a highly respectable 2.0 bpg, which is adequate considering his offensive arsenal is better than any center in the league. (Al Jefferson is second).
Overall i would take Yao
