Although I'm not terribly familiar with Horford, one stat that jumps out to me is that Atlanta has been near the bottom of the league in rebounding rate the past few years. Also, Horford's overall rebound % is pretty low, a lot lower than I expected. Admittedly there's a lot more to consider, but I think the comparison between Keef and Horford is closer than many think.
But regardless I'd still take Horford over Kieff any day. From what I understand, he's a huge positive when it comes to being a teammate and overall team/organizational culture.
Time to put this one to bed.
Career comparison-you can look at just about anything....I thought under advanced, VORP popped out pretty big. But WS/48 he doubles him and just about any individual stat...

This year.... http://bkref.com/tiny/8n2b6 Markieff has negative advanced stats....but terrible across board.
If you want to throw this year out, because he will suddenly be a model citizen going forward and always put in 100%, we can look at last year...
http://bkref.com/tiny/kUdJG Horford still blows him away - rebounds, assists, blocks, fg%, more than doubles him in WS/48, almost triples him in VORP, PER 21.8 to 15.4, the list goes on.
Any way you slice it, Horford is on an entirely different level.
Our team doesn't need Horford, but as players, and especially as professional human beings, they are in different stratospheres.
Thanks for gathering all that, definitely agree that it paints a clear picture in Horford's favor. Even though things like advanced stats are heavily influenced by the performance of the overall team, VORP paints a pretty clear picture since it's harder to find a good center which makes Horford more valuable, even if they had the same exact stats everywhere else.
