Explain why he is/isn't

[Pusha Key]

1. Dwight
2. Cousins
3. Al Jefferson

[Penny]

As of right now he's been the #3 C in the league, but that's due to other elite Centers having slow starts

If Bynum plays this season Bynum will > Horford. Cousins and Monroe too when they get on track (Cuz has been in very good form recently, Monroe not so much but I'm sure he will pick it up)

[BayArea510]

Right now, yeah he is. No doubt. A lot Centers have been underperforming or are injured.

[Pan43]

If we speak currently Varejao > Al Horford

[Rio is G.O.A.T]

Yeah he is, he's always been a good center but the only reason why he's considered a top 3 as of now because most of the elite centers are either underperforming or is injured

[Pooty]

No

[The Future]

Arguably yes. However, as soon as Cousins and Monroe back it up.. he's gone!

In the perfect world he'd be a PF.

He is center by default in ATL. I just think based on what you need from a center (pts, rebs, blks, FG%, passing, low fouls), then yeah, he's in the talk.

Like said by Nick C, Al Horford is a PF playing the C position. I believe he would dominate on a team where he could play the PF. Let's say he replaced Pau with the Lakers. Damn...

But for now, he's in the convo. He does all the things a top center needs to do.

Yeah, everyone is pining for Josh Smith, but I want Horford. Good passer, has a mid range J. He's having a bad year form the stripe, but previously he's be hitting 70+%. But Mike D wants a stretch 4 because of his offensive scheme. SMH.

Sad part is that he's right. For his offense he needs a Ryan Anderson. Which NO is not giving up for Pau.

Teaming J-Smoove with Dwight would be pretty devastating defensively though. Two of the best shot blockers in the game, on the same team? I wouldn't mind having that. On top, Smith would be a killer in the pick-and-roll with Nash.

But I feel your love for Horford. He's so steady.

I think I'm just tired of guys players with mood swings (the Lakers have enough of them). Horford just goes to work. Smith is an athletic freak... but I hate his shot selection and even though he is a fine shot blocker (usually off of help defense)... I don't consider him a very good defender outside of that. He falls for fakes and always looks for the block which tends to lead to open spaces in the lane. Also not a great one on one defender and because he doesn't have PF size, he can get worked by bigger 4's with post moves.
