According to John Denton from Florida Today, via the USA Today website, Orlando Magic franchise player Dwight Howard feels restricted by being forced to remain anchored on the low block. He just feels he could do so much more if given the chance to step away from the basket every now and then.

"They really want me to be a power player, which is cool, but I know I don't want to just bang with somebody and fight the whole game," said Howard. "You don't get to do a lot down there (in the low post). Right now, I'm not one of those big guys like Shaq (O'Neal) who can just hold somebody off. Right now, I'd say I don't have the education to know how to maneuver my body around down there."

Howard would prefer to emulate the style of Kevin Garnett, who is provided the freedom to post up or roam the perimeter as a means of getting open shots, rather than Tim Duncan, a back-to-the-basket force who pounds foes down low and occasionally drops in the midrange jump shot.
