Who has impressed me more than Al Horford over the last few seasons? Not many. I always assume Horford won’t be good enough to be relied upon for meaningful minutes, and he keeps proving me wrong. Horford was critical for the Celtics championship run in 2023-24 because Kristaps Porzingis struggled again with injuries. The Celtics don’t need Horford to put up many stats, but he’ll continue to be useful as a center who can stretch the floor for Brown and Tatum. 8/30/2024
