I've got to eat crow with Sap. He is playing defense! At least he is putting forth the effort. That's all I ask.
Let's see if he can keep this great play up on both sides all season. I remember last year he seemed to have a much better first half.
Is he the starting PF on a championship team? I still say no, but he's making a very good case for himself.
You can have an undersized PF in a starting lineup on a championship team if he is playing next to a dominating center. I know some won't want to hear it, but Big Al is having an All-Star Caliber season so far this year. He is much improved defensively and he is becoming a better passer out of the post. The thing that I like the best right now about Jefferson and Millsap is that they are playing well together on the court next to one another. Our starting five right now (Harris, Bell, Hayward, Millsap, and Jefferson) is playing exceptionally well on defense. That is why the Jazz are winning.
