The Utah Jazz drafted Paul Millsap back in 2006 with the 47th pick. Coming out of Louisiana Tech, the same power forward academy that helped create Karl Malone, P.J. Brown, Jackie Moreland, Mike Green, and Randy White, he was a limited player who was known as a hustle guy. He did lead the NCAA in rebounds for each of the seasons he was there, but he has blossomed in the NBA.
Today he’s more than just a rebounder who scored on offensive rebounds. He can steal the ball and make the right pass in transition. He can post up.
