Los Angeles Lakers: What Dwight Howard will provide on defense

It is official, Los Angeles Lakers fans. After multiple evaluations and workouts in the big man department, Dwight Howard has become the Los Angeles Lakers’ choice to fill their final roster spot.

With the recent injury to DeMarcus Cousins, the Lakers had to revise their plans and use that spot for a center to backup, JaVale McGee, the only true center remaining on the roster, instead of a forward.

After missing almost the entirety of last season for back surgery, the center is said to be completely healed and in tip-top shape, ready to prove he has left his past conduct and health issues behind and ready, at 33 years old, to embrace whatever role he is assigned.
