Al Horford as a pasing big man

How highly do you value Al Horford as a passing big man in all time sense? Does he crack the top 10? Top 20? How high is he in the past 20 years?

Big man in this sense is a player that can comfortably play 5.

I would say top 10. He is a great passing big man and he can also take the ball in transition. He is one of the pioneers in this modern era who encouraged coaches to run more plays through big men.

He's kind of hard to place.

He's more of a guy that makes "the right play" than a great passer to me. Obviously, decision making goes into this.

I'd say probably top 20, but probably outside of the top 10, presuming we're including early 2000s PFs in the discussion.
