Can the Paul Millsap experiment please end?

CJ 's decision making; especially his shot selection continues to be shaky. His FG% has hovered around 38-40% all season while taking over 10 shots a game. In this offense, for a guy who is supposed to be "a shooter"; that sucks; plain and simple.

He has gotten better but in past seasons I would absolutely dread watching him come on the court, miss his first couple of shots, lose his confidence and then pout the rest of the game while making no contribution. Now he can have a bad shooting game and still rebound, make a couple good passes and play OK defense.

so you save this message and repost iot a few times. i could swear i read this already on the old forum, or it could just be deja vu
 
Yea,

Millsap sucks.
I'm sure there was a better player we could have drafted at 47 back then. I always said, we should have taken Yotam Halperin... he has really developed.
Why can't he shoot better than 50%, his shot selection is suspect, and who pump fakes?
Pump fakes are for weenies.
I would think he would do better after all the time he has had to develop.
He led the NCAA's in rebounding for 3 years....When is he going to lead the NBA in rebounding? Did he forget how?
I wish Rainhut's cousin would log in and devote all waking hours to his ruin.
I hate Pal Millscrub.

The End

Dallas (and San Antonio and Phoenix and probably Golden State and the Clippers, despite not beating the Jazz) argue differently.

Oh, and so does the scoring of the player he's guarding, good for third WORST on the team, at 19.1 points per 48 minutes--behind only Evans and Hayward (who are playing on such low minutes that they can pull ahead of PM with just a few future cameos).

Even among the starting lineup, AJ has started to distinguish himself as a more convincing defender--just like the center should.

Effort does not necessarily equal defense. And while Millsap has been a huge plus at times, he hasn't even brought the former--much less the latter--at other times.

It's tough to do all the time with a 4- to 6-inch length disadvantage on some nights.

You don't want to use 82games matchup stats, they are generic and inaccurate. Switches happen all the time in real game situations, not to mention fast break points where Millsap is never in position to guard his man. The only player that I would say abused him one on one was Griffin, but that guy is a beast and Millsap had never played him before so will cut him some slack.

Also, yes Al is getting better, but doesn't have the instincts (charge taking), toughness, or rotation ability of Millsap. He is limited in that regard the same way Millsap is limited in height.
 
I agree, Millsap sucks.

He can't even average 30 points and 20 rebounds.

Lets trade him to Portland for Greg Oden or something.
 
PadgettsPumpFake, +1. That might be the best username I've ever seen on here. No fonder memory than watching Scott Padgett pump-fake on a wide open 3, take a dribble, then turn it over on a terrible pass.

I was amused when words like "all star" were thrown in the early season after that 30 pt game by Sap. He is back to earth now, I guess. And when Memo gets back Sap's numbers could go down even further. He is always a good role player, OK a very good one.

But coming back to the OP and title of this thread, why are'nt people harder on Millsap than CJ? Because Millsap brings it more often than CJ, he has always did. Simple, is'nt it?
CJ has been in the league for 6 years and only now is he starting to figure out things a bit. The dude is a little slow on the uptake.

A starter should bring it more that a bench player. Cj is a really good player off the bench.
