Al Horford. Coming to
dominate a low post near you. I love - LOVE - this pick for us. Personally, I
look at Horford and see a guy with the potential to be as good as Elton Brand -
a guy with the potential to put up 20 and 10 on any given night.
The guy has a championship pedigree as we all know, and I just don't think
that can be stressed enough as a positive in his favor as he joins a team that
has been through an awful lot of losing in the last few years.
Horford is a physical load in the paint, and in the size-deprived East he
should be able to thrive. and I'd bet on that happening sooner rather than later.
I know there are some fans who wanted the team to take a point guard at this
spot, but this to me was the right pick. Of course time will tell, but I feel
very good about the direction this night is going in...
