Millsap Dropped!

my$hkin drops Millsap for Jason Thompson

Paul Milsap Jason Thompson

Paul Millsap, in his 3rd year out of La Tech, has been quite effective as a rebounder when given minutes. He's a high-energy wideman, and will be highly sought after when Boozer goes down. Until then he'll have nights like his first game (20 minutes - 4/4) with occasional 10/14 outbursts

Jason Thompson, picked 12th overall by Sacramento, surprised everyone with a 18/10 opening night. The intrigue mounted when it was realized that, even after B-Mill returns from his drug suspension, has only Mikki Moore ahead of him at PF. In tonight's game, he had 10/7 in only 18 minutes.

Judgment: I'm not sure, honestly. Thompson has a bit more opportunity, it seems, than Millsap, but Millsap has proven he can perform consistently. Thompson's a rookie from a tiny school (Rider), and will likely struggle at times. As they are both rebounding specialists, I'm calling this one a wash.
