Is Nikola Vucevic better than Dwight Howard?

Each Saturday, I host a radio show on 1080 The Team with Eric Lopez. This weekend we went back in time again to discuss the Dwight Howard trade.

Howard has been criticized in recent days for an implied role he played in the firing of Houston Rockets head coach Kevin McHale. As Nikola Vucevic continues to be a dependable double-double machine, it begs the question which big man one would rather have on their team right now?

The numbers may not lie, here is what their stat lines look like so far this season (entering Tuesday’s games):
