Millsap is one of the most efficient PnR players in the league. Higher ppp than Boozer. Similar to David West and LMA. Would probably have had a lot higher numbers last season if it wasn't an ongoing training exercise for Hayward to learn the play. Thankfully Tyrone Corbin put a ton of effort into it and didn't give up when Hayward was failing at it. He was much better the second half, I'm guessing splits would back this up.

I knew Sap was good at pnr, but I had no idea he was that good. I don't remember him running the pnr with Hayward much, but that makes sense as to why Millsap's efficiency dropped a bit this season. Good post.
Sorry, I meant to say one of the better, not most efficient.
Hayward and Sap are the weak side option when they run faux-triangle on the opposite side. Basic synergy doesn't give me last season's numbers so I can't confirm a decline in pnr.
