A CelticsBlog debate: one last ride with Al Horford or is the future now with Robert Williams?

Three out of the four starters seem locked in for next season: Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum. Shooting guard and center are up in the air. Today, two CelticsBloggers will debate who plays at the 5.

Michael Pearce: I think it’s pretty clear that Horford deserves the starting job. While Rob is definitely a better athlete, I think it’s Horford’s brain and offensive versatility that set him over the top. Why do you favor Rob?

Bill Sy: All true, but before we get into on the court specifics, let’s state the obvious.
