Some time after the free market opened, former star player Paul Millsap finally announced his joining the Brooklyn Nets, and the following is an analysis of his career encounters and playing style, as well as what will bring to the Nets:
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > Millsap's career</h1>
Selected with the 47th overall pick in the second round in 2006, Paul Millsap started his career with the Jazz. His approach to the league from the beginning was through solid blue-collar hard work and the ability to mix in the penalty area, until the Jazz's original big forward Carlos Boozer left the Windy City in the 2010-11 season and new partner Al Jefferson joined. However, the Jazz, who used the twin towers as the façade, were still only the middle of the league, and after their contract expired, in order to help the original young twin towers Enes Kanter and Derrick Feifoss, the Jazz decided not to renew their contracts. Al Jefferson travels to Charlotte to become the last Elvis, while Millsap joins former Hawk King Josh Smith's departed Hawks.
After joining the Hawks, he shined under Mike Budenholzer, and ushered in a transformation in the case of Al Horford's reimbursement for the entire season due to injury, not only practicing outside projection to become a star player, but also dragging the Hawks into the playoffs. The Eagles' years also ushered in the first 60-win and first-place season in the East Side, but the team's overall talent was limited and it was eight years of resistance to "Jen", and it has not been able to reach the top. Finally, after the Hawks announced a rebuild after another first-round exit in the 2016-17 season, Paul Millsap also went west to Denver to sign a three-year, 90 million contract with the Nuggets. The Nuggets only played 38 games due to injury in the first season, and although the team's record was still good, it was still regrettable to finish in the ninth place in the highly competitive environment of the West End. The Nuggets followed the West End powers in the next three seasons, and although all this is due to the progress of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic, Millsap's credit for carrying the team's starting number four in recent years can not be ignored
The Nuggets used a sharp slump on the offensive end of the 2021-22 midseason trade to get from the Magic of the clearance sale to be able to match Mike Potter Jr. on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Complementary Aaron Gordon and Millsap also naturally gave up the team to start the bench. The Golds, who had a long history after the trade, had already made winning the championship their ultimate goal this season — until Jamal Murray's cruciate ligament was torn throughout the season. Despite subsequent additions to Austin Rivers and the reuse of Fakundo Capazzo, he also beat the Portland Blazers in the first round, and was not eliminated by The West Zone champions four straight games until the second round. After the Nuggets signed Jeff Green in the same position with the mid-term in the offseason, it was doomed that Millsap would have a great chance not to return. It wasn't until now that the dust settled on the free market that Millsap decided to take the gun to the Brooklyn Nets.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Millsap's playing style and outlook</h1>
Although Paul Millsap is only 6'7 inches tall, his 7'2-inch arm span combined with his thick body, solid card slot skills and developed face-frame singles made him dominant at his peak. At the peak of his career, he developed a three-point range to continue his peak career, and he was also the ultimate template for many short interiors. On the offensive end, he is mainly biased towards the role of the terminator, whether it is a high and low plane frame single, or a downward slide after a false block is his main scoring method. As for the projection of the three-point line, it is almost all Catch & Shoot, with no blocking or singles after Pull up. The steering part has not always been Millsap's strong point, and he has averaged only 2.2 assists per game in his career.
Defensively, he was unable to reach number three because of his lack of speed, and he grew slower and slower as he grew older, which was also the Nuggets' choice to trade with Aaron Gordon to solve the defensive problems on the front line. At the end of the Nuggets' career, Millsap would carry a small ball or a substitute number five most of the time, although the Nuggets' number five defensive end could have masked the fact that Millsap's foot was slower because jokic moved slowly. But a height of only 201 centimeters can be said to be incomparable to the defensive defense of the air combat frame.
Next to discuss the suitability with the Nets, first of all, I personally think that on the offensive end, we can refer to last season's use of LaMarcus Aldridge , the Big Three attracted defense and then passed to Millsap with a gap. In this way, not only Millsap's efficiency can be greatly improved, but also the scoring ability of the Big Three can be reduced; it can also be used to take points directly with Millsap's familiar face frame. In short, signing Paul Millsap on the offensive end is not much of a problem because he can switch the ball at any time without the ball.
The defensive end is where Nash needs to think deeply. First of all, he and Griffin are unlikely to play in the starting four or five positions at the same time, so who is going to start first and who is going to be substituted? Griffin didn't carry the starting center from the start of joining the Nets, but in the case of the sudden retirement of LaMarcus Aldridge, the complete abandonment of DeAndre Jordan, nicholas Claxton still playing with his body, and the Overall Lack of Nets center. After all, the only reason he can stand up for the start is that he has a good goal in attack and a completely hole in defense. But Paul Millsap, who also has defensive problems in the new season but is not bad in offensive efficiency and ball quotient, has even done better than Griffin in terms of rebounding consolidation. The difference between the two is in the strategy and rebounding, which needs nash to consider well.

After signing Paul Millsap, the Nets roster, which does not include a two-way contract, has come to 16, and one person must be cut before the start of the season. There is currently news that DeAndre Jordan wants to buy out, and if he does not buy out, There is also a non-guaranteed contract in the lineup Ofaliz Johnson can be cut. In the offseason, the Nets signed James Johnson and Paul Millsap to fill the gap in Jeff Green's departure, but the former's outside line has disappeared, and the latter is not as good as the departing Green, but the skills of these two new signings are still more comprehensive than Jeff Green. This operation should reduce the scoring pressure of the Big Three in the new season, but the problem of defending in the penalty area is still tricky.
