Paul Millsap Reminds Jazz Why They Paid Him

Filed under: Jazz

You'll be unsurprised to learn Carlos Boozer is in pain, taking the weekend off for treatment on his strained calf. Time for Paul Millsap to reintroduce himself. The Kings were the first to remake his acquaintance, getting pounded by Millsap's 32-and-14 night Friday, with Paul just simply dominating the second half.

Some have phrased the alarm as a "move Boozer" siren; others, taking a cue from the man with the golden stopwatch, suggest Millsap-Boozer will push slumping Mehmet Okur to a lesser role.

The Jazz have surged of late, but this really ought to serve as a wag of the finger to the previously eluded to Jerry Sloan, who hasn't used Millsap nearly as much as he should have this season. Millsap, in the first season of his four-year, $32 million contract, has averaged 26 minutes a night for Sloan, producing as always in his relatively limited minutes.
