PG: Speedy Claxton
SG: Joe Johnson
SF: Josh Smith
PF: Al Horford
C: Zaza Pachulia
I realize this is probably an unpopular and improbable projection because the Hawks have publicly said that Josh Smith is their starting PF.
I realize Smith has played his best basketball of his career at the PF position, but even so.. I just like Horford more at PF than I do at C. I see Horford as a beast and a more traditional big man than Smith.
I'm 99.9% sure this won't be the opening day starting 5, but I hope if something happens Woodson will tweak his line-up and give Horford a try at PF.
