#24 Paul Millsap, F/C is gonna be a stud

[spurscenter]

Really liked this kid's game, I think if he gets PT, he can be a monster.


Has the skills and body to dominate inside the paint.

can gain weight and turn into a David West or stay the same and stay in between SF>PF>C

Really impressed me.

And people laughed at me when I say the Spurs should pick up this kid.. Hah.

[endrity]

He's another Brandon Bass kind of player. A little undersized for the 4/5, but really strong and with good basketball instincts.

They both have to get even bigger and stronger though to be effective down low, cause their lack of height catches up with them.

Disagree. I think the fact that they have some quickness at the power forward position is one of their strengths. Their both pretty powerful kids already. But, both Bass and Millsap are quicker than most power forwards and that helps them get by defenders on face-ups and get to rebounds on second and third efforts with quick jumping. I think added weight on those two wouldn't help.

He's definitely got game, but dominate? I don't think so. Undersized players can have effective careers, but when they transition into a starting lineup, their weaknesses get exposed. Players 6'9" or 6'10" will be able to shoot right over him.

I like Milsapp

[LakerLanny]

He's very underrated. He just destroyed the Lakers on the glass in the last series and gets the most demoralizing of rebounds, the offensive rebound over and over again.

I was surprised they didn't play him more, he was killing us. I also think Okur is underrated, he had a very good series vs the Lakers also. And Deron Williams might be the best PG in the NBA today, including Chris Paul. The Jazz are tough, they are a very good team.

[baseline bum]

Millsap looked a hell of a lot better than soft-ass Boozer.

he's dope. i'd love to see him on the spurs.

People are always bringing up players they like and saying, "Let's sign this guy. He's got a great game and will really improve out team."

I can't figure out how we can sign all these players. Most of them have contracts with options and even most great free agents are likely to either:

1. resign with their current team (if they're so good, most teams won't let them get away) or
2. be over-bid on offers from teams that don't concern themselves with luxury tax issues or
3. want to play in cities with higher visibility for the player.

When was the last time you saw a free agent who was a potential starter stay in our price range? Granted we may have some freedom with our payroll next year if we have some retirements, but what 'great' free agents will be available.
