lets look at raja bell's stats and Howards stats

Bell:

02-03 DAL 75 32 15.6 .441 .412 .676 .60 1.30 1.90 .8 .69 .11 .57 1.80 3.1

Howard:

03-04 DAL 67 29 23.7 .430 .303 .703 2.20 3.30 5.50 1.4 1.03 .81 1.00 2.50 8.6

If you cant tell what those numbers mean... Howard got 5.5 more points, played 8 more minutes, 3.6 more rebounds, .6 more assists.

Also, Howard is younger and has much more potential. Raja is a guy who will always be the player that he is... scrappy, lots of heart and hustle. Howard has a chance to be a much better player... can be a shut-down defender, can average 12-15 ppg, be among league leaders in steals, and be one of the best rebounding sg/sf's in the league

"what has Howard done that has outclassed a guy like Raja Bell?"

The answers is obvious... he has done everything better
