2014-15 Stats: 17.2 ppg | 8.1 rpg | 3.2 apg | 1.73 spg | 0.9 bpg

Paul Millsap will be making his second straight All-Star appearance, and that’s because he’s been playing out of his mind for coach Mike Budenholzer this year.

Millsap is averaging a TS% of 58% and a PER of 20.3, both improvements over last year.

The combo forward’s mobility makes him deadly as the ball swings back and forth between the ever-passing Hawks offense.

Throw in the fact that Millsap is also swiping a team-high 1.73 steals per game, more than Teague, Horford and defensive-minded DeMarre Carroll, and well… wouldn’t you want him on your bench?
