Dwight Howard has been working with a new shooting coach for the past week.

The private shooting sessions are already making a difference in his jumper, Howard said.

"It's looking a lot better," said Howard, who has yet to release the name of the shooting coach. "I've been working with him a week and he's changed my shot tremendously."

Howard also plans to work more with Hakeem Olajuwon and continue to develop his expanding offensive game in the states.

Howard worked with Olajuwon for a week earlier this summer and three days last summer, concentrating on Howard's footwork and scoring mindset.
