Is Paul Millsap the most underrated player in the NBA?

[Kool Boy]

The guy has been amazing the last 3-4 years and no one talks about him. I think he is a top 15-20 player in the league right now.

[iznogood]

He's not as underrated as Reke.

pretty close but I think Millsap is more proven

[NBAGOAT]

wow actually kind of agree with you even though it's most likely someone a little less proven. He was fantastic as a 2 way guy for the Hawks when everyone else especially teague and korver got worse. The playoffs absolutely hurt but the Hawks defense's one weakness was giving up 3's and that's terrible vs Cleveland.

[RedBlackAttack]

Wasn't he rated like 14th or something in that ridiculous SI Top 100 players or whatever it was?

Personally, I don't think he is the least bit underrated. He just doesn't get talked about a ton because he plays for the Hawks.

[Achilleas]

yes he is underrated,he was like dray,he can do anything for the team

millsap is more savvy on the block, scoring.. but dray offers a whole nother package in terms of aggressive defense, shotblocking, running full court as ballhandler, dishing, and general motor / energy .. millsap is like a poor mans Love imo.

Millsap is a much better defender than Love. Millsap>Love for sure. Calling Millsap a poor man's Love just shows how underrated he truly is.

based on what, "for sure" ?

Millsap is a better regular season defender than Love, puts in more effort than most players like the hawks as a whole usually do there .. but get torched in the playoffs regardless and always underperform.

Can you explain why Millsap is better than Love?

Except Millsap is one of the best defenders at his position while Love is literally one of the worst...

A better defender is a better defender, I'm not going to get into a big argument regular season vs post season defense. Just because Love had one good defensive sequence against Curry in the Finals, doesn't mean he is a good defender all of a sudden. Millsap is one of the best defender at his position. Millsap's. Millsap is also a more efficient and doesn't throw up close to 6 three pointers a game. Millsap>Love and it's not even a debate. Stupid idiot.

dont let your jimmies rustle that quick. youre getting belligerent.


It can be argued that Kevin Love is a better passer, scorer, and rebounder. Paul's got defense.. it's not unreasonable at all to think Kevin Love as a talent and player is better than Millsap...

Kevin Love is a better rebounder but Millsap is a much more efficient scorer with on one like LeBron to create shots for him and Millsap is arguably the better passer. However, their defense is so far apart it's a joke to even consider Love better at this point...

[smoovegittar]

Yeah, kind of... but he doesn't get enough media exposure on his teams. I knew he would be solid back when he was balling for Utah.
