TheNorthCydeRises Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Quote: I voted yes but most will agree that he would be better as a power forward. If you listen to Dominique last night in the post game show, you can see that deep down he thinks Horford is more of a power forward to be his true natural position. Of course PF is his best position. I even agree with that. But to maximize his ability at PF, Horford would have to get touches. The problem for Al, is that he's not in the same situation as a Jefferson or Aldridge. Both of those guys are either the 1st or 2nd scoring option on their respective teams. Al MIGHT be the 4th option, depending on who's in the game. JJ is the #1 option, and Smith at times shoots like he's the #1 option. So that limits Horford's offensive chances right there.

exodus Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Quote: But is "standing reach" a major factor in how well a guy can play offense? More than actually having skill? It is a factor in how well, or poorly, Horford can defend them. After all you just said Horford is a good defender yet he struggled badly against both guys. Jefferson scored 19 in the first half without missing a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
