Over the last year or so, the word on Al Horford has been mostly negative. He was not a good fit in Philadelphia at all and his weaknesses were magnified in lineups where he had to play out of position. Horford was criticised for the fit that he had with Joel Embiid.
There was a lot of talk saying that Horford was washed as a player and his contract was an albatross. Throughout last season, I was skeptical of this rhetoric for a few different factors. The first being that Elton Brand assembled a roster that does not work in the modern NBA.
