Juwaun Howard still works out with the team. They are going to have to issue a restraining order if he keeps this up.

Bored so I'm gonna post the Big 3 Hollinger player profiles 
First, the Kang
Scouting report
+ Bruising wing with a point guard's handle and a center's body. Deadly at rim.
+ Solid outside shooter who has added left-block post game. Can pass and create.
+ Outstanding rebounder. Excellent defensive player who can guard 1 through 5.
Analysis
LeBron James was only 18th among small forwards in offensive rebound rate, barely placing him in the top third at his position. He really needs to work on that. (
) Otherwise:
+ He led the league in PER, with one of the highest marks of all time.
+ He was first among SFs in shooting percentage, 2-point shooting percentage, and usage rate.
+ He was second at his position in points per minute, TS%, and defensive rebound rate.
+ He was third in pure point rating, free-throw rate, and overall rebound rate.
+ He had the fourth-lowest foul rate among SFs, and yet was fifth in steals per minute.
James nearly led the NBA in shooting percentage at the rim, at a phenomenal 75.4 percent, and took more shots there than all but four players. He added a post game, improved his floater, and made his midrange jumpers. As a result he was fourth in the league in shooting from 3-to-15 feet.
Want more? He shot 3-pointers better than the league average for the first time in his career and set career highs in true shooting percentage, rebound rate, and shooting percentage. He won MVP of the Finals and hit the biggest shot of the season while fighting off leg cramps; before that, in a seven-game conference finals against the league's best defensive team, he averaged 33.6 points on 52.7 percent shooting.
James defended all five positions, many times in the same game, and defended all of them well. Opposing small forwards had just a 10.6 PER against him, according to 82games.com
About the only thing I could genuinely criticize is his 77.1 free-throw percentage, which was slightly below the average for small forwards. Otherwise he had a decent year.

Wade
Scouting report
+ Electrifying wing with blinding quickness, long arms and quick leaping ability.
+ Great at splitting pick-and-rolls. Poor shooter but draws heaps of fouls with fakes.
+ Ball-hawking defender but gambles too much. Amazing shot-blocker for his size.
Analysis
Wade is 6-foot-4, but he doesn't play anything like his size. Look just at his stats and you'd think he was a power forward -- Wade's rates of blocked shots, free throws and shots in the basket area seems much more in line with that position than his own, while he also punches far above his weight as a rebounder.
In particular, Wade's rate of 1.51 blocks per 40 minutes was simply amazing -- every other player with that high a rate was at least three inches taller. Meanwhile, he combined those skills with the quickness of a point guard, ranking fifth at his position in steals per minute and 15th in pure point rating. Alas, the other area where he acted like a big man was in transition defense, where Wade often lumbered back slowly.
Offensively, Wade pretty much ditched the 3-pointer and focused on his midrange game last season, and the change helped: He hit 42.3 percent of his long 2s. Unfortunately his true shooting percentage still fell because he drew dramatically fewer fouls than a year earlier. Wade's free-throw rate was still among the best in the game, but at 30 years old this may be the first sign that he's starting to lose some of his burst.
Not that he's lost much: He still led all shooting guards in PER and ranked third overall. But he needed his knee drained to get through the season and had surgery on it afterward, and the Heat kept him to 49 games and 33 minutes per contest. His physical frailty may be one of the bigger obstacles to the Heat repeating.

Bosh
Scouting report
+ Lanky, left-handed, high-scoring forward who can shoot, drive and finish.
+ Excels at taking opposing bigs off dribble to draw fouls. Has 3-point range.
+ Mobile defender who has vastly improved. Lacks strength. Rarely fouls.
Analysis
Bosh's scoring and rebounding numbers took a hit when he came to Miami, with the rebounding drop in particular proving confounding. But one area where he hasn't received enough credit is his defense. Bosh basically switched to being a full-time 5 in the playoffs despite his lack of muscle and handled the job admirably. Meanwhile, he was a defensive force all season because of his improved focus combined with tremendous mobility for his size.
For the year Bosh rated among the top 10 defensive bigs in the league, according to Synergy. Opposing centers had only a 12.4 PER against him, according to 82games.com, and the Heat gave up 1.3 points per 100 possessions less with him on the court. This is the Bosh we didn't see in Toronto, although to be fair he had a lot less help up there.
Offensively, Bosh was vitally important for Miami as well, providing the spacing and scoring threat that Miami's other bigs couldn't. Bosh shot 66.5 percent in the basket area with a high free-throw rate, but just as potent was his 42.3 percent mark on jumpers beyond 10 feet. Bosh even hit 10 3-pointers, and then added a few more to beat Boston in Game 7 of the conference finals.
The other notable facet of Bosh's game is how rarely he fouls. Only four power forwards were whistled less than his 2.55 personals per 40 minutes, despite the fact he played center nearly as often as the 4. As a result, he's able to stay on the court -- and impact the game -- for much longer stretches than most bigs.

Juwan is trying to get an assistant coach job. Add the fact that Riley has always liked him it's likely he'll stick around

@ the dunk on perkins at 8:07. Wade was dunking on Perkins before Griffin made it cool. I knew that dunk on Varejoa was going to be the last one. That was just disgusting. He took dudes soul with that dunk and Varejoa was never the same.
