Al Horford as he comes back from the shoulder injury that cost most of the previous season

Expectations

Al Horford missed most of the previous season with a shoulder injury He rushed back to play a few playoffs games but

we didnrsquot get to see him at full strength In the off-season he attempted to get the Dominican Republic into the Olympics

but came up short He played a more dynamic role offensively for that team but it was unclear how much would

translate into the season As for expectations I think everyone counted on a greater offensive role with Joe Johnson gone

and beyond that just to be the same old solid Al

Results

For the most part Al was back to himself with 174 ppg and 102 rpg Some of that production came from a career high

in minutes per game at 372 which makes it understandable that the rest of his numbers were down slightly from what he

produced in years 3 and 4 of his career including turnovers He wasnrsquot quite as accurate with the shot and his FT

shooting was off by quite a bit 37 minutes is probably too much for banging in the center position Consistency stands

out for Al as you see fewer horrible games among his season than other players

Highlight

Al had some big games like his 34 points and 15 rebounds in a road win at Utah but the big highlight for me was game

2 of the season at Oklahoma City With Josh Smith out Al Horford showed that he could carry the team He wasnrsquot the

only Hawk to have a good night but Al shot the ball 19 times making 11 scoring 23 pulled down 12 boards made 3

assists and got a block and a steal It was the kind of stat stuffing that Josh was famous for and the Hawks won by 9 on

the road

Prognosis

Barring a big free agent signing Al is the cornerstone of the Hawks for now It seems likely that hersquoll be able to become

a 20-10 player if we land a center to allow Al to play PF full time As a cornerstone you canrsquot hope for a more solid

player even if sometimes you wish hersquod be more assertive
