Stats say Horford is better, but Gasol is one of those players where you can't judge him off stats. His defense is miles ahead of Horford and Memphis depends alot on his offense because he has the ability to create for others. M. Gasol is possibily the best defensive & passing big man in the game today.

Any one who actually knows basketball will tell you Gasol is better. If you swap Gasol for Horford, Memphis defense takes a big hit, their interior defense would crumble.

Since Gasol is (clearly) the better player, I think you should be the one explaining why you think Horford is better.

If you swap Gasol for Horford, Memphis defense takes a big hit, their interior defense would crumble.

Memphis' offense would take a hit too. Without Gasol providing that high low action or backdoor bounce passes, Memphis' offense would plummet.

Reason why I believe Al Horford is an overall better player than Gasol?


Al Horford has better shot selection and can actually rebound and finish layups. Marc Gasol has an atrocious post game. His defense is definitely very good compared to Al Horford's, however, it doesn't make up the fact he is poor offensively. When you are an inside big man shooting 48%, you are not good offensively.


Al Horford always pummels Marc Gasol when they match up. It's quite hilarious, really. Marc just can't keep up with Al Horford when they play.

[Richesly]

When Al Horford matches up against Marc, Horford shoots 58%.

Gasol gets smacked by Al whenever they play.

7 rebounds per game is weak.
