Who Would You take Horford or Durant

I personally would take Horford, but it might just be b/c I love the Hawks.  I think he is more valuable to his team adding up 25 double doubles to Durants 1.  Heck Horford was this close to averaging a double double.  Another think to keep in mind is Horford played great in the playoffs and played out of position all year long. 

Meanwhile, Durant scored 20 points per game, but with low percentage.

One thing I find interesting is that they are the same height.

Look I know this seems like a reasonable debate but it really is not.  Al Horford is two years older (which were spent on a two time champion Florida Gator team playing with and against NBA talent) and much more physically mature.  Durant is 19 years old and played on a team that had no other good scoring options.  He faced double and triple teams all season and still found ways to score (heck he even scored 22 in a team USA tryout).

When Durant fills out and physically matures, he will be unstopable.  He'll be able to add the post up and power drive game to his repertoir.  Horford was arguably (and I mean arguably) the better player this year, but long term Durant will be a superstar.

By the way, to the guy who said he will be another Rashard Lewis, it took Lewis 7 seasons to have a 20 point a game season.  He didn't even crack double digits his first full season.  This is no Rashard Lewis.  I think Durant is going to be like a Garnett/Dirk Nowitzki mix while Horford is going to be a David West.
