Help me out here ............... and I have certainly been a critic of Horford this season, given his salary and what his role was supposed to be. If he had come in with the same role, salary and expectations as Amir Johnson, I think most of us would feel great about his ability to help this team win. FWIW, I don't regard Johnson's contributions since joining the Celts to have been satisfactory at all. His defense is very average, his offense worse, his rebounding worse yet and he is taking down $ 12M per - all for being the 2017 version of Jim Ard.
HOWEVER - Is it true that Horford is being forced to play center when he is really a power forward and nothing else. Thus he is going head-to-head with the league's centers who are bigger and stronger than he is. Does he need to be at PF behind a strong center to play again like the All-Star he used to be with Atlanta ?
