Yesterday I saw the game Russia-Dominican Republic.
Horford play the 4 for most of the game, with freedom to dribbling, have the ball, penetrate and initiate the play from far away.
He was paired with Monia, Xryapa or even Kirilienko. Lighter players, but more mobile, theoretically.
Well, I was impressed about Als mobility, dribbing, shoot off the dribbling, penetration, turn around jumper. Many times I had to get closer to the TV to make sure it was him who did a play, because it seemed more as a real forward.
As he was almost the darker player on the court (but not the only black player), it gave the impression he was the biggest, but he seemed to be incredibly agile.
So, please, LD, get Josh to the 3, Al to the 4, Zaza, Petro or whoever to the 5, and have some fun, rim protection, rebounding dominance...
