Interesting to note that Orlando’s Howard ranks 7th among post players at 21.3% [high-leverage situation usage rate], though one assumes much of that is the result of his still shaky free throw stroke.
In a piece debunking the myth that the Houston Rockets don't involve Yao Ming enough in their offense, Jason Friedman of Rockets.com notes that Dwight Howard does not get many touches late in close games when compared to other players at his position.
