Juwan Howard, one of Michigan’s Fab Five in 1991-92, has anther one year NBA contract. Howard has signed on with the Portland Trail Blazers. He played last season in both Denver and Charlotte. Howard, 36, has averaged 14.9 points and 6.6 rebounds in 1,043 games. He has appeared in the playoffs four times, averaging 9.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists. He played two seasons at Michigan alongside Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Limmie King and Ray Jackson. Howard is a 15-year veteran and certainly his enhanced experience could help the young team to grow up faster.
"Juwan Howard will add a wealth of experience and veteran savvy to our young, talented roster," Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard said in a statement. "We look forward to Juwan's contributions on the court and in the locker room."
The 6-foot-9 power forward was the 14th player added to the Blazers roster in advance of fall camp. The Blazers have looked this offseason at a number of big forwards, including Stromile Swift and Greg Ostertag, before going with Howard.

I didn't know Howard played last season. It's funny how Webber and Rose are long gone, and he's still plugging away.
