After expecting to play in a reserve role last season, Utah forward Paul Millsap surprised many onlookers with arguably the best campaign of his career. The 26-year-old was thrust into the starting lineup when Mehmet Okur went down with an injury and responded by averaging a career-high 17.3 points per contest. He also averaged 7.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals starting 76 games. He also proved capable of playing alongside Al Jefferson and the Jazz are actually toying with the idea of moving Millsap to center and Jefferson back to power forward, just to keep them both in the lineup. No matter where he plays, Millsap proved he can produce when given ample minutes, which he will surely get in 2011-12. At the very least, Fantasy owners should can count on double-digit scoring totals with around 8-9 rebounds a night from the 26-year-old. He also usually kicks in a steal and block, which only increases his value in category-based formats. Fantasy owners shouldn't hesitate to spend an early round pick on Millsap on Draft Day.
