Paul Millsap has been one of the league’s most consistent power forwards since he took on the starting role back in Utah in the 2010-11 season.

Since then, you can guarantee that every game he walks on the court, he’s going to give you a stat line somewhere around 17 points and 8.5 rebounds. Last season for the Hawks, he led the team in points (17.1), rebounds (9.0), steals (1.8), and block (1.7.) while being named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team for the third consecutive year.

With Al Horford‘s decision to sign with Boston, Millsap will have a new frontcourt mate in Dwight Howard. Fortunately for the team, the drop-off from Horford to Howard isn’t as extreme as it could’ve been had they struck out in free agency and would’ve had to start a player like Tiago Splitter.
