LA versus al horford (insider)

3

Breaks down individual matchup between LA and horford (noting that LA's key strength and intangibles) with LA being the winner. "Aldridge is a GM's dream, a rare athletic talent with a handful of go-to moves and a strong desire to get better... As skilled as Horford is, his best fit will always be as a third option who can give his team consistently strong defensive play and much-needed hustle. And that's exactly what he does. With Aldridge embracing the role of franchise player and making good on his vast potential, he leaves Horford behind on the NBA's second tier while he looks to join the elite class of players in the game."
