Bynum's health is a huge factor. A couple of the injuries were just freak things that weren't his fault but yeah, overall, it is a concern. I just think that we've seen Howard's ceiling. He's very limited offensively and if he doesn't have a band of shooters around him, he becomes pretty ineffective down there and he remains a liability in the clutch because he can't make a free throw. I just wonder how much he'd give you as a third option, a second post option? I think we'd be looking at 16-17 points and 12-13 boards a game. I feel like with Gasol gone, Bynum can get you those numbers too right now and I think he's got more potential to grow. It's all on his health though but if he stays healthy and is able to keep a rhythm going, I think his offensive advantage over Howard overcomes Howard's defensive one.
