My Take
Paul Millsap is my kind of NBA story. A second-round pick at 47th overall in 2006 out of Louisiana Tech, and he turned that into sixteen seasons in the league. That longevity from a low draft slot tells me everything about his work ethic. At 203cm he played power forward without elite measurables, so he won with positioning, toughness and a sneaky-versatile skill set. The All-Rookie Second Team nod hinted early that he'd outperform expectations, and he kept doing it for over a decade. I respect grinders like him far more than the lottery picks who fade. A genuinely underrated career.
