Scouting Report:
A dominant rebounder and accomplished scorer with long arms.
Strengths:
Rebounding – only player in NCAA history to win three straight national
rebounding titles. Great strength. Long arms. Blocks a lot of shots.
Almost a guaranteed 20 point, 10 rebound man every game. Dependable
scorer – scored in double figures 32 out of 33 games his junior season.
His strength and nice touch allows him to score with ease around the
basket.
Weaknesses:
Height – may
only really be 6’7”, far undersized for a NBA 4 man. Doesn’t possess
perimter skills or speed to play the 3 spot in the pros. Hasn’t played
against the best competition in college playing in the WAC.
Projected 2006 Draft
Range:
Late first round pick.
Consensus:
Millsap hopes to
have an NBA career reminiscent of Tech’s most famous alumni – Karl
Malone. While this is a long shot, Millsap’s strength and rebounding
ability should help him stick it out a few years in the League.
However, his lack of height will definitely limit his effectiveness.
