On this countdown, we continue with the newly acquired veteran star, Paul Millsap.
Paul Millsap was the Nuggets biggest catch in free agency this summer. He is a veteran star who will be invaluable with the experience and talent he brings to the table. So, who exactly would be his equivalent from the Denver Broncos?

Millsap would equal Jamal Charles. When you really think about it, this comparison makes a lot of sense. Both players are new acquisitions and both actually love the Mile High.
Do not forget, Paul Millsap spent a lot of his childhood in Colorado. In other words, this coming season will be like a homecoming for him. Jamal Charles on the other hand, has always idolized the Denver Broncos. It was his dream to play for the Broncos when he made it to the NFL and he will get a shot to make that dream a reality this season.
Another way they are similar is they have a ton of veteran experience. For years, Charles was the back bone of the Kansas City Chiefs offense which liked to feature a lot of smash mouth football while managing the game at the same time. Eventually, he succumbed to a slew of injuries and the Chiefs thought his services were not worth it anymore. Until the Broncos flew in and swooped him up in free agency. Millsap has been with both the Jazz and Hawks. He got his start with Utah, but Atlanta is where he really made a name for himself. Millsap was the go to option for the Hawks for the past few seasons and now has found a new home with the Nuggets with the Hawks set to begin a rebuilding process.
