More Kudos For Horford

Posted by: Micah Hart on December 5, 2007 at 3:58PM EST

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?

They'll give it to Durant, strictly because of the hype. However, should the Hawks make it into the playoffs and Horford's numbers continue to improve, they'd be hard-pressed to hand ROY honors over to Kevin Durant because clearly, the Sonics are not doing squat this year. If Horford can increase his scoring averages by making his free throws, grabbing boards for second chance points, and creating shot opportunities for himself, hopefully he will be able to average a double-double in his rookie season. Then who's gonna argue about him being ROY???
