Yall are underrating Sap's ability to create his own shot. He was crossing his man up in the paint and either driving on them, or stepping back with ease.
Maybe it's Millsap...

Deron Williams is the offense 'as the offense' in this current Jazz iteration. In the playoffs, when it counts, Deron's usage rises, while Boozer's stays the same. Not to mention last year in the playoffs, Millsap scored at a higher rate than Boozer with better efficiency.
We will miss Boozer on the defensive boards more than anything else.

I knew Millsap had a jump shot in his bag of tricks, but the range of his jump shots from the Oklahoma game were just crazy. If he can consistently knock down 20 footers and spread the defense that much more, watch out- the dude would be the best PF in the game imo.
I agree with 2814's overall point.
Millsap is a very effective finisher and high post player. He does not when placed in the low post distort the defensive team. In other word they don't respect his ability to score in the low post and will single cover him.
On the other hand Jefferson does distort the defense.
This doesn't take away the things that Millsap does better than Boozer or Jefferson but it goes shows what his basketball limitations are due to his size.

What is the point of this thread?
It started out saying Milsap is playing well, and could be the new Allstar on our team if he keeps it up.... then it turned into what?
We are glad Boozer is gone, and glad Jefferson is on our team.
We are glad Milsap is playing well, and that he is a good enough player to drop 30 and 16 as the "second best" post player on our team?
Do players that cant create a shot on their own score 30? How long will it take for him to be playing well, before defenses decide to respect his game which will take pressure off of Jefferson, and allow him to go off?
I'm glad we have both on our team. Go Jazz

This is now an issue of morality and ethics? You REALLY do have a word of the day calendar..... cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute! (smiley face emoticon, smiley face emoticon, smiley face emoticon)

Word of the day? Don't lower it to your own level.
Obviously you did little other than look up the most base-definition of the word, without understanding the underlying complexities.
That is, within lawyering, to obfuscate. Rather redundant.
And yes, my reply is pedagogic. Yet your post certainly called for it.
As far as psychology, it's humorous how typical you are: so sarcastic and simultaneously proud of your own ignorance. Though, I suppose to miss that point is the point. For you.

If Stockton couldn't "replace" Malone, then they couldn't both be all stars, that the idea?
Or is it just that one couldn't possibly be more valuable to the team than the other?
You're simply ad.or.able. You're mother just has to be beaming. "That's my boy....." she says, with a tear gently caressing her plump, rose colored cheek, as she reads her sons Jazzfanz.com masterpiece(s). "Your little boys alllll growns'd up, Peggy.........he's now a world conquerer!"
Millsap homerism humors me, but whatever. Millsap has big games, but he has games where he's purely a role player putting up pure role player numbers. I doubt he could ever be a pillar to the offense, but let's at least wait a little while before proclaiming Millsap an all-star.

One on one, I'd have to bet on the Paperboy to whup Loozer's ***. He can't even beat a high school kid in a game of horse, know what I'm sayin?
Loozer, down 0-9 in a game to 10 against da Paperboy: "Don't think you've won, just yet. This time I really am gunna defend you. I know I said that on the last 9 possessions, too, but..."
