It never fails to amuse me the player comparisons in this and many other threads. Comparing Bolomboy to Millsap is disrespectful to Millsap. This kid hasn't done squat. Summer League means almost zero unless you're desperate to make a roster. Even then, it doesn't necessarily translate into success in the league.
Millsap has been a multiple All Star and has helped lead his team (including Utah) to the playoffs on numerous occasions. He was an elite rebounder in college and very good big so far in the NBA. Almost every single year Millsap has improved a part of his game. In many ways, he could be compared to a poor man's Malone more than being compared to some unproven late 2nd rounder. There is more statistical comparison for Millsap to Malone than Bolomboy to Millsap.
I'm all for loving who we have, but I'm also not going to "over appreciate" who we have. Bolomboy has so much to do before being compared to any current NBA player much less a current NBA All Star and 1st Team All Defense.
