Maybe it's Millsap...

In which fundamentals do you find him lacking? Court awareness? Foot work? Post moves? The ability to pass out of the post? Shooting mechanics? The only thing he gives up on Boozer is 1 inch and his left hand, and we all know what Boozer's currently doing with his left hand!

Besides the fact that Millsap has great post moves, a soft, tight jumper, very intelligent court awareness, a fantastic handle (as we saw last night), and is a WARRIOR who battles for 82/48, he certainly CAN create for himself when necessary. I've seen him make moves in the post that have made by jaw drop, and I'd certainly build a post centric roster around him any day of the week before that ballet dancin pansy Boozer.

No doubt he is helped by Jefferson's presence, but that's the beauty of it.

Agree with this post. Millsap has to use his improving jumper, especially if he can quicken the release a bit, to enable him to put the ball on the floor. It may sound a bit odd, but Millsap should try to patter his game after big SFs like Carmelo Anthony and Lamar Odom. If he can put the ball on the floor without charging over people, he can make some good things happen. The question is whether he has the quickness.

Millsap's Luis Scola-ish. Better than a role player but not quite a main cornerstone for a team.

.

As of now this would be close to an accurate assessment. Although Scola is bigger and has always been a starter in recent years unlike Millsap. The jury is still out on Millsap's ceiling. He has the whole season to show what that is.

I've been lurking this board ever since Millsap made the team. I've seen Paul play back in college. This guy works and plays hard. He's humble. He's far from his ceiling.

Plus, he played at the same school that Karl Malone played at.

This doesn't sound so dumb now does it?

Millsap cannot fill the role of offensive anchor.

Seemed to do ok last night
