Where did Paul Millsap go?

DukeJazz said:
1 tall guy. 6 ft 9 is the average height for power forwards and paul is 6 ft 8 and a half so hes basically average. Big al is way mroe underssized at center than millsap is at power forward.

Not only smoking but also drinking loads of kool-aid. I have stood next to Sap, Booz, AK and Memo. Memo and AK were obviously taller than Booz - who is undersized himself and admitted he was 6'7" without shoes. Booz is taller than Sap. My guess is that Miles is close to as tall if not taller than Paul. Everyone on the planet knows Sap is undersized for an NBA PF including him and the Jazz coaches. And it does impact his game. Love his hustle but it hurts his game. Just for grins a quote below on his size. This is very old news but evidently needs repeating.

NBA Scouting Reports: Filling in the Blanks- Power Forwards (Part 1)
August 25, 2009
Overview Steadily improving young big man who had a breakout season in 08-09, establishing himself as a legit cornerstone of the Utah Jazz. Extremely undersized for a power forward at just 6-6 without shoes

I'd like to add, since we're using stats besides win/loss to decide whether or not players suck, that our BEST 5 man unit this year has been Williams/Miles/AK/Sap/Jefferson, outscoring teams by +66. We're definitely not bad anytime Jefferson steps on the floor. Ridiculous.
 
I want to reiterate the fact that Fesenko (realistically) could not play 30 minutes without getting 6 fouls. Also, Elson could not handle 30 mpg over the course of the whole season.

Again, I'm not sure who you're arguing with. I never said the Jazz are bad anytime Jefferson steps on the floor. Reading is fundamental.

The Jazz have only been really good this year when Big Al isn't on the court. This is undeniably true. Acknowledging this does not necessarily imply that the Jazz would be even better with Francisco and Fes getting 30 minutes per game.

Matchups matter. Big Al has been outplayed by opposing starting 5s, and it's highly likely that Fes and Francisco would be too if given the same minutes as Big Al.

It's worth posting how terrible Big Al has been in Jazz losses:

34.1 mpg
.409 fg
13.6 ppg
8.2 rpg
0.9 bpg

Dude takes games off ALL THE TIME. That's not going to do if he wants to be an essential part of a winning basketball team.

Lol I seriously doubt elson or fez would play better than big al at center. Also millsap hasn't been rocking. What did he have like 3 rebounds yesterday?Also aldridge scored a ton on him. We are winning so no one on our team is actually playing real bad. Its a group effort when we lose.

Way over your head. Go ahead and scale those numbers for however many minutes you want. They'll still show that Paul outplays opposing 4s and Big Al gets killed by opposing 5s.

How is that a comeback? Don't get how that is a defense. You also don't think big al blocks shots but hes in the top 10 at shot blocking for centers? You make no sense.

Everyone is smaller without shoes. Dwight howard is only like 6 ft 10 without shoes. Also Big al being undersized is worse than millsap being undersized IMO.
