The Golden State Warriors made a gamble this offseason in signing veteran center Al Horford to a two-year, $11 million contract, committing to him for the duration of their current championship window.
At the time, it made perfect sense. The free agent market for experienced centers was slim, and the Warriors greatest need was a stretch big who could protect the rim in even a limited capacity. Even at age 39, Horford represents that at his best.
While the first couple months of the season have been disappointing for Horford, he appears to have found his footing now that he is healthy.
