I’d like to see what he can do against george hill so we can get a good guage of his talent

I guess I should clarify myself

Josh quote

"The (shooting guard) shots a little more jump shots, from what I’ve seen," Howard kidded. "I don’t think (the transition is) going to be too difficult. Me and Shawn are pretty much the same type of players. We’ll just have to find a different way to score besides shooting jump shots all the time, I’ll say that much."
