Consider also that Bynum is a better free throw shooter although not by much and commits less turnovers though the minutes may be a factor in that.
Also Bynum has drastically improved his inside game and if he starts to dunk as much Howard instead of going for the lay-up he will only get better. Bynum is also taller and heavier than Howard.
Give it time. I am not saying Bynum will definitely overtake Howard but the potential is clearly there.

That is completely untrue, you don't have to dunk to be good in the paint you just have to take it up strong, if you do that you'll get the hoop and the harm, and believe me it's a lot easier to lay a ball up in traffic than it is to jam it.
