Elijah Millsap Appreciation Thread

[LifeOnaPlate]

Paul learned how to shoot after he left the jazz (at least from 3). It took about 8 years.

Not true. He developed his shot before leaving, including the three in his last season in Utah.

Credit Quin for some great coaching decisions. Elijah comes in fourth quarter and immediately makes Jack off a ball out of bounds. Squirted right out of his hands.

Reported.

I love his hustle and tenacity.

Elijah is nice.... but damn he is bad on offense most of the time.

Him and Ingles can be very tragic with their TO's.

The worst thing he does is those baseline drives when he passes on wide open corner 3. Kind of like Alec... but Millsap scores at about 25% on those and turns it over on about 1/3d of them. While Alec at least finishes about 50% of them.

That's the cold splash of reality when you did things in the D-League that have a very low rate of success in the NBA.

Exactly. Doesn't anyone remember that game against Miami? Millsap killed them with threes.

Good bench rotation guy. Me thinks he can still get a lot better too.

Hes a player.

I really think Elijah deserves another start ahead of Big Joe.

 

[JazzForLifee]

good bench player. He can play D and shoot 3. His nose tho looks just like paul's lol

good thread.

I still see him as a Ron Artest-lite. Same powerful build. Same quick hands. Same in your face style of defense-minus the crazy. Same great wing rebounder. Same inconsistent offense.

Seriously Paul learned how to shoot. Why can't Elijah?

I would not say Millsap has a powerful build. Sap is very underwhelming in person, where as Ron looked like a tank. Test also had close to 50 pounds on him.

I saw Artest a bunch in person... dude is a truck.

Millman is great as a 15 minute a night energy defender. He needs to be a clause in his contract that we subtract from his salary every time he dribbles though. He needs to either shoot the 3 or move the ball on offense.
