Al Horford continues to get press for his excellent play to start the season, and winning Rookie of the Month honors will hopefully only be the start of it.

A pretty cool feature on ESPN (it's on Insider, but appears to be a free preview) today about him, including video breakdown of how well he is playing the game only 17 games into his first year.

ESPN's David Thorpe is doing a weekly feature breaking down the play of NBA rookies, and this week he's got Big Al at the top spot.

We'll have more on this tomorrow, but I really think Horford will be in the ROY discussion all season, and if the team makes a playoff push, who knows?
