Big Al is a basketball player. Howard is an athletic big man. Al has an exceptional offensive repetoire for a big man. That's hard to come by. He also plays with more passion than Howard. In my mind it isn't even close. In the future Al is going to greatly outshine Howard.
Bill Simmons agrees too. Quote:"Al Jefferson
Did you know that the best young low-post player in basketball right now is only 11 months older than Dwight Howard? It's true. Howard is a more powerful player than Jefferson, and he's definitely a better rebounder, but as we witnessed on Sunday night -- when Jefferson soundly outplayed him, by the way -- Big Al is a much more polished offensive player and needs to be double-teamed at all times. Howard's points come on fast breaks, finishes and putback dunks and that's it. I don't know who's better, but it's definitely up for debate. Check out their post-All Star break numbers:
• Jefferson: 19.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, 56 percent shooting.
