There are only three options for the Power Forward partnering with Howard: Lewis, Brian Cook, and Turkoglu, who primarily plays Small Forward and occasionally fills in at Power Forward.
The scoring of these three is mainly based on outside shooting, averaging a combined six three-pointers per game and serving as the backbone of the Magic Team's offense. However, the three collectively average only five field goals from short distances or closer, predominantly staying outside mid-range on offense. Their combined average for offensive rebounds per game is 2.5, matching that of the backcourt duo of Zhang Yang and Felton.
The Magic Team is third from the bottom in the league with an average of 9.4 offensive rebounds per game, only lower than the tanking Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns, who do not prioritize offensive rebounds.
When Howard can't grab offensive rebounds, the confidence of the Magic Team's outside shooters in their shots naturally wavers.
