"Horford has only played in 14 games thus far, but his teammates know how potent he can be even in limited minutes. He definitely spreads the floor, challenges shots at the rim, and is a high-IQ-type player, Jimmy Butler said. Then he's just really, really fun to play with. As long as you're out there having fun, being joyful, ball's moving, you're guarding, you're competing, that's who he is, that's who he's always been."
"Quinten Post, though mired in a shooting slump, is still a high-volume 3-point shooter who provides rim protection. Trayce Jackson-Davis has been a revelation over the last few games, and he scored a season-high 10 points against Dallas. With Horford in the mix and Draymond Green always an option to man the center position should the Warriors go small, two-big lineups with passable shooting are now a viable option for coach Steve Kerr."
Al Horford returned from a seven-game sciatica absence and hit four of six 3-pointers, scoring 14 points in 11 minutes on Christmas Day. Horford has appeared in 14 games this season and provides floor spacing, rim defense, and a high basketball IQ. Consistent availability for 15 to 20 minutes per game would transform the Warriors' center rotation into a strength. Quinten Post offers high-volume 3-point shooting and rim protection despite a shooting slump. Trayce Jackson-Davis has recently emerged, scoring a season-high 10 points against Dallas. Draymond Green remains a small-ball center option, enabling viable two-big lineups with acceptable shooting.
