Millsap's Return

[7StraightIsGreat]

But he can't, he wears down as has been seen the last 2 seasons. It was not coincidence that he had this game after getting great rest, and against a short team.

Have him be the 2nd team scorer and limit him to 30 minutes. Patellar tendonitis is not trivial and with all his other injuries he could be heading for a short career if the Jazz overuse him. As they have been.

You are exactly correct. I hope Corbin's offseason To-Do list includes sitting Millsap down and discussing his role with the team moving forward. He would be so much more effective long-term if he was coming off the bench and being "the guy" on the 2nd unit. It's better for him and it's better for the team.

Agreed, but it can be hard for a guy to accept that. I'm sure when Sap signed he knew he was going to be the eventual starter.

I'm hoping that the wear and tear on his body will help Sap see things in a little different light, but with this competitive nature that seems doubtful.

I'd love to see Millsap as Utah's Odem. And I personally think that would be a great role to have. He can make a greater impact in the game with the second unit, and the energy he brings can help the starters a lot.
