I think this is the biggest misconception in all of jazzfanz.

He is horrible at guarding the perimeter when guarding stretch 4's, he's not as bad as Al, but he's not good guarding pick'n roll, and not a good help defender. Millsap sets the weakest picks of any big on the team. And my biggest gripe with Millsap is he settles for those weak *** fadeaway baseline shots that have almost no chance of going in. He needs to take his man off the dribble a lot more. There are very few pf's that could stay between him and the basket. I think he relies on the fadeaway way too much, because he's lazy. Flame away.

Well John Hollinger seems to value Millsap a lot more than you do.... it would seem he demands a little more credibility than you do. Here is what he said about millsap: "Millsap might be the most underrated player in the league. I love this guy. He's not a prototype 4 because he's undersized, but he's athletic, skilled and just knows how to play. He beats smaller players on post-ups, takes bigger ones off the dribble and confounds both with his midrange jump shot.

Last season was his best yet -- he averaged better than a point every two minutes, ranked sixth among power forwards in player efficiency rating, and had he been in the Eastern Conference certainly would have made the All-Star Game. The key is how broad-based his skills are: Millsap was in the top half of power forwards in every category I track except fouls per minute. All of them.
