Horford quietly becoming team leader

[JackB1]

Prediction.....

Horford will be captain of this team within 5 years.

If the Hawks ever let him go, I am done with them. The kid is playing unbelievable for his 1st year and should win ROY, IMO.

What is being asked of him is far tougher than was is asked of Durant.

I agree on both points. Horford is simply our 3rd best player today.

He has to be ROY considering he plays a much harder position than SF, and is playing out of position. I do agree with Ex, why doesn't Horf put the rock on the floor and drive? One dribble would allow him to blow past almost anyone that defends him.

I think it will come in time. Again, it's not like hes a focal point of the offense. He is still trying to figure out his game and what will work and what won't in the NBA. Hopefully, we have coaches that will instill in him how to use his advantages so we won't have to have conversations about why he isn't abusing players with his speed and handles.

I am not sure why more people on here aren't singing the praises of Horford (I assume because it indirectly praises BK drafting him, but anyways).

It's the same pessimistic people who think he, Josh Smith, and Marvin have all it their ceilings at 21 and 22 years old
