The Golden State Warriors' chances of claiming the championship title this year are bolstered by their recent additions, including the signing of Al Horford. However, despite his storied past and reputation for being an all-around talent, Horford has struggled to find his footing with the team thus far.
With a mere four games under his belt, Horford is averaging just 5.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting at a dismal 36% clip from the floor and 33.3% from three-point range. These numbers are indeed concerning, especially considering Horford's advanced age of 39.
Golden State forward Draymond Green provides some depth to the frontcourt, but it appears that another big man could be on the horizon for the Warriors in order to bolster their rotation. Nick Friedell, an expert on NBA affairs, has suggested that the team may explore acquiring another center or power forward.
While Horford is still considered a veteran presence with much experience under his belt, it remains to be seen whether he can regain his form and continue to contribute significantly for the Warriors. In the meantime, if Horford's performance continues to falter, Golden State will undoubtedly begin looking into additional options in order to strengthen their frontcourt.
The team is currently riding a 4-2 record and faces the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night, where they will look to build upon their momentum.

but at the same time, i get why they signed him... he is still a vet and can bring so much experience to the team 
and idk about this Nick Friedell guy suggesting another big man comes in tho... like what if they try to give Horford more mins? 
does he just need some time to gel with the squad? 
. Four games in and already 5.8 points and 3.5 rebounds? That's like, not bad, I guess 
. But when you're averaging 36% from the floor... 
it's gotta be tough to see him struggling.
. Maybe another big man will come along and shake things up? 
. We'll see how it plays out, I guess! 
. And yeah, 39 is getting up there, but I think the Warriors have bigger concerns than just his age 
. They need someone who can bring that "next level" game and help them take down the top teams. The Pacers are gonna be tough on Saturday, but if Horford's not on it, I hope the team knows how to adapt 
. Maybe they can find another big man who fits what they're looking for? That'd be a good move, imo 
. I mean, Draymond Green is a solid player, but come on, another big man would be nice to shore up that frontcourt 
. Until then, I'll just keep biting my nails watching this one unfold 
. Anyone else feeling me on this one? 
. But if he don't... well, maybe it's time for him to start thinkin' about the next chapter of his career 
. Meanwhile, the Warriors are already lookin' ahead, which is like life itself, innit? We gotta keep movin' forward and prepare for what's next 
.
. They're on a roll right now with that 4-2 record, so you'd think Horford would be able to help 'em build on that momentum 
he's literally only scoring like 5 points per game? idk how much more of that they can handle tho they need someone who can give them a boost ASAP 
maybe trading for another big man or something? draymond green is doing his thang but i think they need another star to shine bright 
i know he's been around for ages but you'd think at this point he'd have it down pat but nope, still looks like a rookie out there 
maybe they should just bring in someone younger and more energetic, idk if horford can turn it around
