Dwight Howard in action

Dwight Howard's performance has declined over the years, he is still a force to reckon with. This season, he was a breath of fresh air for the Charlotte Hornets and his averages also increased. Dwight averaged 16.6 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game playing for a very average Hornets.

However, the 3-time consecutive Defensive Player of the Year's struggles from the free-throw line continued as he only made 57.4 percentage of his attempted shots from the free-throw line. This is not a surprise because Dwight has been a very bad free-throw shooter for the most part of his career. "Hack-a-Dwight" is a common strategy used by the opponents that send Dwight to the free throw line.

In the 2016-17 season, Dwight shot 53.3 percentage from the free-throw line which means his free-throw percentage improved this season, but that is still not enough to stop his opponents from fouling him intentionally.
