Should Dwight Howard be focused on improving his jump shot?

The superstition of Dwight Howard shooting consistent jump shots at any point in his career has always been, well, a superstition. Howard has always been simply an outrageously physical prescience down low and that’s how he has succeeded throughout his NBA career.

Howard has five three pointers made spread out over his 12 year NBA career. Now when Dwight first signed with the Hawks we saw numerous clips of him working with shooting coaches and putting up jumpers in the empty gym.

While this didn’t necessarily translate to an increase in made field goals outside of the paint for Dwight Howard, all indication has shown that he is continuing to work on the jumper.
