And a trust me, if Kobe could dump Bynum for Howard right now I bet my life he'd do it.

It'd be tight if you could really make that bet...

Yeah it would. Everyone knows Howard is the better player. Every report on Bynum over the summer said he was making progress but wasn't aggressive enough. The guy has potential, but that's nothing if your lazy.

Everyone knows Howard is the better player NOW. Bynum has more potential to dominate as a true center though, especially based on his early progression and what everyone within the Laker franchise has been saying about him...Like Antonio said, Andrew Bynum is in Kobe's situation, while Dwight Howard is in LeBron's...People who only look at stats wont see this yet, people who know the game can see shit like this before it happens...Don't get sad, it's just my opinion...PeACe

Fuck potential, Howard is already showing his talents.
Harold Miner had potential too.
And fuck PER 48 stats. There is a reason those players who benefit from a high PER aren't getting big minutes.

The reason is that Bynum looked like Fat Albert till 2-3 years ago. Just check this photo.
He was raw, with no foot moves, just a nice hook and that fat ass. The amazing thing about this guy is that he has a wonderful basketball IQ. He LEARNS quick. If you see a video of him 3 years ago and you see one of his games now, you see a totally different player. Even phisically he's turning from Fat Albert to an NBA body. He's still so young that he can't force to much on gym, but look at the results after 1 1/2 year with the Lakers.
He's not fat, he's quicker, he's fresh. Now he's still working on his body to get some muscles and shit. Immagine him in 2 years if he continue this way. He'll have a perfect 7-0, 7-1 NBA body, and he'll be a force, inside.
Not to mention the fact he's actually LEARNING from Kareem how to PLAY basketball. He has a good ethic too, according to Kareem. Look at the percentage from FT.
First year .296 (8/27)
This year .720 (77-107)
He's improving. Like a monster. He already have a nice hook, a nice release of the ball, he has great timing blocking, he grabbed 10 rebs per game as a starter, he is no joke. He still has a lot to learn, expecially on defence, but damn man this guy in 3 years improved a way i've never seen before done by a CENTER. NEVER. You can't hate on this guy's potential. It's there. He's showing him. Imagine him in 2 years with a better body, more muscles, more offensive moves and a better defensive presence. And imagine him as a starter, playing 35 mins per game. Being 21. Damn, man. I'm impressed.
Citizen-Y:
We'll see when we cross that road. But right now he can't average PER 48 type numbers since he is also averaging 6.4 fouls a game in the PER 48 range.
Bay Area Jat:
who cares who's better at the age of 21 its at the age of 25 u can really gauge talent and get an idea of what kind of career the player is going to have
