The extended break has given the Philadelphia 76ers’ prime offseason acquisition time to recharge his batteries.
Al Horford has terrorized the Philadelphia 76ers from inside and outside the organization for years now. Some members of the fanbase still consider him an enemy, which is a difficult label to maintain when you leave the Celtics to join the Sixers. Rarified air.
And yet, despite the immense criticism heaped on Horford this season, his struggles are not entirely his fault. The Sixers lack the personnel and structure to maximize Horford’s skill set.
