Howard’s bruising, paint-owning big man
Marcel Boyd has been the kind of center who changes the temperature in the lane: in the 2015-16 season he averaged just over 10 points and nearly 10 rebounds per game, shot 53% from the field, and blocked 42 shots, while Howard sources praised him as a rim protector and board-crusher when he stayed out of foul trouble. He’s the type of interior anchor who brings toughness, touch around the rim, and energy that doesn’t always show up in highlight clips—but absolutely shows up on the glass.
