Al Horford talks with Steve Bulpett about his role for the Boston Celtics: "the way that the game keeps changing, playing the 5 works to my advantage. And with the lineup that we have and all the guys that we have, I feel like we’re most explosive if I play more 5.
I wasn’t (enamored with being the center) before, but with this kind of team, it’s what we need. So I think that I’m going to play mostly at the 5, and then I’ll play some 4 when (Aron) Baynes or (Daniel) Theis come in, but I’m OK with it"
According to Basketball reference, last year Horford played as center 57% of his minutes.
