The topic has been discussed at length by bloggers for years and, yet, the lack of credit he continues to receive is borderline criminal. How underrated is Millsap exactly? In every season since 2010-2011, he’s ranked among the league’s best 30 in efficiency. Millsap’s 31.5 cumulative Estimated Wins Added for the Jazz since 2010 ranks him ahead of rival power forwards Chris Bosh, Kevin Garnett and David West (and on par with Dirk Nowitzki) over the same time period. Regardless of his consistency, Millsap didn’t receive overwhelming interest in free agency and ended up signing with the Hawks for two years and $19 million. He will be earning less money in 2013-2014 than either Mehmet Okur or Stephen Jackson. Some pundits recognize his talent, but, for whatever reason, exclude him from the discussion of the best bigs in the league. Perhaps this can be attributed to Millsap’s seemingly unaesthetic playing style. He bruises in the paint, overpowers for rebounds, and finishes strong at the rim. While basketball purists drool over his effort on the court, it’s not quite as pretty to watch as a Stephen Curry pull-up three. None of this is news, of course.
