Howard hoping to avoid surgery : Lakers center Dwight Howard said he will have his injured right shoulder examined Wednesday, but is hoping to avoid surgery, ESPN reports. Howard played with a torn labrum in his right shoulder for most the year and only missed six games with his injury. "I gave it my all, despite being in pain," he said. Howard averaged 17.1 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks on 57.8 percent shooting from the field in 76 games with the Lakers.

While Howard is trying to avoid having surgery on his shoulder, the bigger story is where he will sign over the summer. The 7-footer will once again be an unrestricted free agent in the coming weeks but he has already said he is no rush to make a decision. "I'm going to step away from everything for a couple of weeks. I'm going to clear my head before I do or talk about anything as far as next season. I think I deserve that and that's what I'm going to do." Regardless of where Howard lands next year, he will be considered a must-start option and should be one of the first players selected in all Fantasy drafts.

| Dwight Howard finally got his wish this offseason as he was shipped off to the Lakers in what ended up being a four-team trade that included 12 players landing in different cities. The 26-year-old will now head out to the West Coast where he will be teamed up with the likes of Steve Nash, Pau Gasol and, of course, Kobe Bryant. While this move seemed to benefit all parties involved, it does bring very interesting factors to the surface that could affect Howard's Fantasy value. Howard now goes from a team that didn't have much fire power on the offensive end to a team full of capable scorers. That means the 7-footer may not see the 13.4 field-goal attempts he has in each of his last two seasons in Orlando as Bryant and Gasol will each demand the ball as well. However, the thought of Nash running the point is kind of scary as it could make Howard almost unguardable in the pick-and-roll game. There is also the issue of Howard's season-ending back surgery he underwent as back injuries can sometimes linger and even pop back up down the line. Still, he is expected to be fully ready to go by the start of training camp and other than last season, has proved to be very durable over his eight-year career. While there are some questions about Howard in his first season in Los Angeles, he still enters the 2012-13 campaign as the top Fantasy center and a sure-fire first-round pick. Howard averaged 20.6 points and 14.6 rebounds in 54 games for the Magic last year to go along with 2.1 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.5 steals. He was one of only nine players to average a double-double last season and one of only three players to average at least 20-10. While his turnovers and free-throw percentage do hurt his stock a bit in category-based formats, Howard should be one of the first players drafted in all formats next season. (Updated 8/22/12) |
