Horford the Next Dwight Howard?
—
"Al Horford has been playing great basketball for the Atlanta Hawks. Not only is he a possibility for the Rookie of the Year award, despite what Kevin Durant has done this year, but Horford could be the next Dwight Howard."

    Dude, there's no such thing as a "next" Dwight Howard. Seriously, how do you even top that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIz7sYjp1Sc#GU5U2spHI_4

    I'm not saying Howard is not an absolute beast. He's one of my favorite players, and he was, undoubtedly, the best high school basketball player I've ever seen play.

    Just give Horford a reasonable chance and in 2-3 years, I can see him doing some of the things Howard is capable of doing. (Last night, he had another 10-12 pts with 15+ boards.
