Paul Millsap has come a long way since being selected by the Utah Jazz with the 47th pick in the 2006 NBA Draft. Millsap played above expectations for a mid-second round pick, even earning All-Rookie Second Team honors, but only once he joined the Atlanta Hawks for the 2013-14 season did he become the player he is now.

The past three seasons have seen Millsap be invited to three NBA All-Star games and join the All-Defensive Second Team in 2016. He was also a crucial part of the Atlanta Hawks 60-win season in 2014-15.

Millsap’s game has shown only to get better over time and he has shown no signs of regression yet, even at age 31. With so many aspects to his game, there was no doubt that Millsap would crack the top 5 in the re-draft.
