Dwight is supporting the Hawks in Summer League

[BigDog90]

Dwight once again is doing good thing, supporting his younger teammates at Summer League. I can't recall if any of the other Hawks vets have done that in recent years but it's a good look to see Dwight do it and a first to see Dwight in Hawks gear.

Dwight going to be feeding them the open looks for 3's! 

[JTB]

Man he's really trying to change his image! I'm ok with that !

[Guest]

Paul Millsap was there the last 2 years, Teague I think last yeat.

[Dnice]

What a tease with the number.

Jeff was present one year on his last re-sign.

[JTB]

Did you guys here about how he's ready to get back to the stuff in Orlando that made him a superstar....man he's been saying ALL the right things for about two months straight now.

i actually heard Shaq say from an older clip sometime last year that Dwight needed to get back to where he gets down the court first posting up in a hurry to get great position for easy baskets...since he's a power player. Shaq did a great job of comparing himself saying Howard need to get back to doing that and getting one post move that's unstoppable and master that.

howard is right you absolutely can grow even at 30...just look at Millsap 

speaking of millsap last thing...Howard mentioned that millsap was one of the key players he talked to and was thrilled to have Howard there. Maybe if this season goes extremely well millsap will give us a resonable price next off season to retain him.

Sounds like Bud is gonna use those quick face up/post ups that SVG used with Howard. Pick-N-Rolls and screens can also be used to get Dwight as close to the basketball as possible during his post ups, Then Dwight can utilize his strength/speed advantage over most centers.

Yeah, that 4 and out approach in ORL worked great. Maybe Bud incorporates that into the offense this year. 

Yeah, centers are smaller compared to how they were in his prime so he definitely can use the strength advantage. 

Yeah, medical staff should do wonders for Dwight. These guys supposedly helped Steph Curry go from injury prone. I don't even see why people trip about Dwight's injury history. He only had two seasons where he didn't play 70+ games. 

That's great Millsap is happy with him. I figured after the stickum incident it'd be awkward.

Exactly man...he gets back to that and he's dropping 20 or more per game easily. He hasn't done that in 3 years.

Hoping he's on a frikin' mission and surprises us with 20/13 with all the PnRs and lob/jams...

Real question is: has D12 EVER attended a SL game with any of his previous coaches? Loving the "Dwight V3.0" (1st version Orlando, 2nd version LA/HOU, 3rd version Hawks). He's also now 30, so V3.0. Wait, did I just crack his new nimber mystery?

Coach bud was sitting next to him at one point also

I'm hoping that he and Schröder can run the pick and roll and turn the ATL in to Lob City 2.0

Ask anyone who is older than 40 and they will tell you 30 isn't old. Matter of fact, an older man told me the most fun you'll  have in your life is in your 30s and 40s. D12 was fine in Orlando. I really think he went to the wrong franchises which made for bad blood. Also, notice he played with ISO heavy guards (Kobe, Harden) .
