The former Florida star often played out of position alongside Josh Smith but still managed to shoot an efficient 54.3 percent from the field. However, he struggled to get to the line (2.8 attempts per game) as well as make free throws at an efficient rate (64.4 percent). Atlanta's roster will likely look very different next season, and given the possible departure of Josh Smith, Horford, who has three years remaining on his $60 million deal, could be the face of the franchise in 2013-14.","date":"Mon Jun 17"},"fullName":"Al Horford","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"A torn pec cost Horford nearly all of last season, but he looked fine in the playoffs and is now 100 percent. The former No. 3 pick has a well-rounded fantasy game, contributing scoring, assists, rebounds, blocks, low turnovers and high percentages. However, low shooting volume from the field (12 shots per game) and stripe (just a few per game) have kept him from advancing to the next level. That could change with Joe Johnson gone, and certainly would change if contract-year Josh Smith is traded so Horford could play his more natural power forward position. Even without that bump, he remains a rock-solid fantasy center with upside who will help in many categories -- and hurt in none.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Oct 10"},"playerRater30DAY":5.6,"playerRater15DAY":0.6,"positionRank":3}
