BOS Power Forward/Center: 6’10, 245 lbs; 11th year, Florida 

NBA Role: two-way center 

Al Horford has taken the same, modest approach for 11 years – and it’s paid off: he’s been one of the game’s top bigs during that span; it’s not ridiculous to say Horford is a pretty complete basketball player absent many glaring weaknesses – good defender, rebounder, outlet passer & scorer; now a three-point threat* (especially from the short corner), game is (slightly) shifting towards the perimeter as he ages; doesn’t get enough credit – adaptable nature (C who pushes the break, passes, cuts & scores like a guard), has helped set the blueprint for the new wave of bigs; loves elbow faceups – loves to pump fake, then his get shoulders by for any easy drive; huge free agent acquisition in 2016, Al’s beginning to settle in BOS

*He’s about as versatile as they come: Did you know?…Al Horford shot a career-high 34% from deep in 2015-16?
