Millsap will be an all star!

[gomretat]

Two words. Charles. Barkley.

1) There is significantly more length at PF today than there was in the Barkley and Malone era - even Karl would not have had as many allstar appearances if he were playing aganist today's length
2) Paul Sap is not the same type of player nor near as good as Chuck was

I love how Millsap keeps getting shorter and shorter! I didn't realize his was only 6'6"!!! LOL

No, he's 5'10".

Rodman was 6'7" and averaged 13 rebounds a game over his career, two of those seasons were 18+ .....yah.....height helps but rebounding is a talent. Its no fluke Milsap grabbed the 3rd most offensive rebounds in the entire league 2 years ago. Its also no fluke he averaged 12 in his college career, which crushes any of the power forwards from this years draft.

Actually height can be a hindrance to rebounding. As height goes up agility decreases, and agility is very important to getting position for rebounds.

Shawn Bradley, 12 year pro (1993-2005), height 7' 6", career rebound average: 6.3/game

I am betting against a 6 foot 6 inch guy being an alllstar at PF. Paul will be fine be the Jazz are worse off without Booz. The only hope we have is that AK returns to allstar form.

Paul has a long wingspan I think makes up for his heigth disadvantage

I was impressed with his shooting touch last season, he put in a lot of work in the offseason, he's only going to get better and better as long as he continues to work hard
