Paul Millsap

Another veteran who will be out to prove they can still play at a star level.

Last season, Millsap was supposed to be the Denver Nuggets’ new weapon they snagged in free agency. Unfortunately, he succumbed to a wrist injury which sidelined him for the 75% of the season.

He averaged only 14.6 points per game, the lowest total since his last season with the Utah Jazz. However, we can assume this may change along with his efficiency with a full season coming up with the Denver Nuggets.

At least, that is what we hope for the four time All Star.

If the Nuggets get the Atlanta Hawks version of Millsap, then they will not only have maybe the best front court in the league, but be a solid fifth or fourth seed in the Western Conference.
