Yes, like his third season when he averaged almost 14/9 off the bench. Or when he had all those double-doubles as Boozer's injury replacement. Maybe I stretched it a year too far, although he was a joy to watch as he developed. Seemed like he went after every loose ball and rebound. Last season was painful. Not all of that is his fault. And maybe my disillusionment with Millsap is misdirected after the Portland contract fiasco, when his agents told the Jazz Paul didn't want them to match the offer.

Of course, Paul is such a dominant player, Atlanta decided to bench him in favor of Ayon.

I always hated how Millsap's #'s barely budged during his final year when he had to deal with Alfense, had no point guard, and carried the load of teaching Hayward side pnr.

I'm happy for him being out of the toxic spotlight of hateful Utah fans.

Agree. I remember arguing with someone last year that millsap was basically the same player he was when they loved him, but for some reason people hated him when he was no longer the underdog.

If anything this makes me mad because he didn't give this kind of effort for us.

Where did this myth about Paul Millsap not playing hard for the Jazz? It is ridiculous!!! The guy played hurt all the time and he got the max out of his abilities besides he worked on his game every year. Paul was one of my favorite Jazz players. He was clutch and played hard.

Did someone start this rumor so they can feel better about him leaving or is this just typical Jazzfanz bashing former Jazz players when they no longer play for the Jazz? The only reason why I wanted him gone was he was holding back our young guys and he would have wrecked the TANK. However, him not playing hard is just ridiculous. I wish Mansap all the best.
 
Millsap has improved his handle since last year. Like I said the dude has worked his butt off to become the player he has become. If he were two inches taller he would be an all-star.
 
All three former Jazzman on the Hawks will be guys I cheer for regardless. I wanted them to bring back Carroll and even though I wasn't a big fan of bringing back Korver, I still remain a fan. I think he has also improved since leaving the Jazz.

I'd seen the floater in an earlier game, but that hesitation dribble...
 
Paul is a great player, wish him the best. It would really suck if the hawks were tearing it up, but they are playing .500 ball--the worse possible place to be (in the west). So glad we are not competing for the 8 seed right now!

edit: did you guys see he is shooting 41% from 3 this year with 41 attempts.

^ why does every discussion of Paul need to bear this asterisk? ^

****ing stupid.

Paul is awesome. Kanter will never be half as skilled as Paul. Nor will he ever be as athletic. But, yeah... I guess we can keep hoping his jumper will be golden and he gets his bully-self back to make up some of that gap.
