Former Utah Jazz forward Paul Millsap still producing, leading at a high level for Denver Nuggets

SALT LAKE CITY — When this most strange NBA season concludes, Paul Millsap will have spent the same number of seasons away from the Utah Jazz (seven) as he did with them to start his professional career in 2006.

That the now-Denver Nuggets forward has made it this long in the league to begin with is a testament to traits he showed and developed during his years in Utah. Yes, he arrived out of Louisiana Tech as college basketball’s best rebounder three years running, but the 47th pick in the draft 14 years ago was also willing to work to expand his game, which allowed him to become a four-time All-Star.
