In his first season with the Charlotte Hornets, Dwight Howard has revitalized his career and is back in the conversation to potentially return to the All-Star Game. Looking at the first returns of all-star voting, D12 ranks 10th among Eastern Conference frontcourt players and 19th among the top-20 vote-getters in the East. Although he isn’t among the top players, it shows just how good Howard has been for the team this season.
Although Dwight was named on the first returns, a familiar face for the Hornets was left off. Kemba Walker was absent from the list as he did not crack the top-10 for Eastern Conference guards.
