Al Horford Signs With the San Antonio Spurs<\/strong><\/p>\nThe San Antonio Spurs are set when it comes to their starting center position as they still have Victor Wembanyama slotted in at that spot. Yet, Wembanyama is coming off having a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder that ended up resulting in his season being cut short last year. Wembanyama ended up getting cleared to play recently, which is a positive for San Antonio, but they need to be cautious with him early on.<\/p>\n
The impact from Wembanyama is evident, as in 46 games last season for the Spurs, he averaged 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 3.8 blocks per game. It\u2019s hard to ignore that Wembenyama\u2019s the star of the team, but the Spurs need to do a better job of filling out the team around him if they want to maximize their potential as a team while Wembenyama is in his prime.<\/p>\n
They have started to do a good job ethos after trading for De\u2019Aaron Fox last year, and then drafting Dylan Harper, but they have to continue to fill out the depth of the team to truly have success. Right now behind Wembenyama on the depth chart is Luke Kornet, and while he is ok, signing Al Horford would end up giving San Antonio more reliable depth at the center spot off the bench.<\/p>\n
With the experience of Al Horford he would end up helping in keeping the develop process of this young Spurs\u2019 team on track, while also being able to provide stable on-court play as well. Horford might be 39 years old, but he was able to average 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game last season, and that type of impact would be a great addition to San Antonio\u2019s bench to help ensuring they can make an NBA Finals run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the NBA regular season gets closer to getting underway, teams that have a few roster spots left…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":206787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-206786","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115161233222698230","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
