2007 Pre-Draft Scouting Report by Matthew Maurer

Assets
Runs extremely well, able to beat most forwards down the court … Is blessed with a NBA ready body and good strength … A very strong post defender able to use his body strength to disrupt opposing players from setting up … Solid shot blocker thanks to his timing and great anticipation skills … Attacks the basket with aggression and power … A surprising ball handler and passer for his size … This enables him to pass out of double teams with relative ease … Is physical in the low post and does a good job of drawing fouls from opposing defenders … Is normally able to use his upper body strength and finish after contact … Really makes a big impact on the glass where he uses his body strength to box out … Has proven to be a very coachable player with a solid work ethic … Possesses a calm presence, doesn’t let his emotions get the best of him … Shows good court awareness, rarely does he try moves that are beyond his skill level … Has shown the ability to hit the 12-15 foot jumper from mid-range … Maintains good body control and balance absorbing contact well from opposing post defenders … Rarely bobbles or fails to catch passes thrown into the post thanks to his soft hands …

Liabilities
Offensively, Horford lacks consistent shooting from mid-range and the perimeter … Defensively tends to get into foul trouble at times due to his aggressiveness … Although his back to the basket skills are greatly improved, they are still in need of refinement … Post footwork can be choppy. By improving this, he will become a more effective post player … Has the tendency to defer to his teammates instead of establishing his presence in the game … Still hasn’t played with the consistency to be expected for someone with his talent … Can drift at times during games, will have one dominating game followed by several so-so performances … Fails to get rebounds out of his position the way he should … Below average free throw shooting prevents him from taking full advantage of the foul shots he creates …
