And while all of those factors may play a role in Horford’s struggles to date, the excuses have been laid to rest in this stretch of time without Philadelphia’s two best players. Freed from the poor fit with Embiid, thrust into the role he should allegedly thrive in, Horford has simply not been good enough. It is how he has not been good enough that is shocking. Horford’s decline on offense has been nothing short of a disaster this season: at every single measured distance, he has declined in effectiveness compared to last season, which all adds up to a 10.3 field-goal percentage drop.
