Welcome to our annual Lakers season in review series, where we’ll be taking a look back at every player on the team’s roster this season, evaluating their play, and deciding if they should be a part of the organization’s future. Today, we take a closer look at Dwight Howard
How did he play?
Dwight Howard’s third return back to Los Angeles wasn’t his best nor was it his worst. But I can speak on behalf of Lakers fans when I say that I was glad to have him back when the team signed him last summer, considering that he played a vital role in winning the Lakers’ 17th title 19 months ago, and that he was going to replace Andre Drummond, who went out of his way to call a fan “drunk” for suggesting he should re-sign on a veteran’s minimum contract (Drummond ultimately signed with the Sixers for the minimum).
