Al Horford has only played one preseason game for the Golden State Warriors, but it was one packed with promise.
Horford already looks at home with the Warriors, and Steph Curry isn’t a bit surprised.
Speaking to the media, Curry talked about what Horford brings to his team and why he’s nothing but an asset.
“High IQ, experienced championship caliber player that can really fit with any lineup out there,” Curry said of Horford.

Horford is one of the most experienced players in the NBA, having spent 18 seasons in the association.
During that time, he’s claimed five All-Star appearances and other accolades.
His biggest accomplishment, of course, would be the championship he won with the Boston Celtics in 2024.
At 39 years old, there are obviously concerns about Horford, but he can be a brilliant addition to Golden State if he remains healthy.
He was only recently signed to the team because his deal was held up by the drama and sluggish negotiations around Jonathan Kuminga.
But even with just a limited time with the Warriors, Horford has already found chemistry with the rest of the squad.
Some people are worried about the Warriors because so many of their stars are now over 35 years old.
Those worries are valid, so head coach Steve Kerr will have to be careful about his usage.
Health is a big question mark, but if Horford and the rest of the squad stay in good condition, people should believe in the Warriors.
Horford has had one good preseason game so far, but the year ahead is going to be very long.
