Golden State Warriors fans were waiting months for the team to sign big man Al Horford.
After the conclusion of the Jonathan Kuminga situation, the team was free to move forward and acquire Horford.
And even though the season hasn’t even started, he is showing what he can bring to the team.
Speaking to the media, head coach Steve Kerr talked about what Horford provides to the Warriors.
“Fun just to see the size. The shooting ability. The passing ability. The flow of the game. What an addition he is,” Kerr said.

The Warriors enjoyed a preseason win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night.
During that game, Horford played for 14 minutes and scored three points, four rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and a steal.
Because it was a preseason game, most people didn’t expect monster numbers from Horford, but his performance was certainly promising.
The most important thing to note was his fit with the rest of the team, and he looked to be quite comfortable among the rest of the Warriors crew.
He will most certainly be a starter when the season kicks off in a few weeks, and he could earn a lot of minutes.
A lot of people remark on Horford’s age – he’s 39 years old, after all – but he played in 60 games last season and was on the court for an average of 27.7 minutes per game.
Horford’s preseason appearance proves that he has something to prove and still has a lot of gas in his tank.
Kerr and the rest of the Warriors have known the benefits of Horford for months, but now he is starting to show them.
