Paul Millsap

At 36-years old, veteran Paul Millsap is entering the twilight of his career. He has seen his minutes per game decrease in four consecutive seasons and it will likely be five in the 2021-22 season.

Despite that, he has shown that he can still be productive even in limited minutes. In only 20.8 minutes per game this past season with the Denver Nuggets, Millsap averaged 9.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks.

His total rebounding percentage was higher than his last season with the Atlanta Hawks and first season with the Nuggets. It was also only the sixth time that Millsap’s block percentage was at least three percent in his career.

The defensive versatility that Millsap would provide would be the biggest impact he has on a team. He can defend both forward spots and in some situations even slide over to the center spot.
