#5 – 97 Paul Millsap
This Millsap is a token reward, meaning you can only acquire him by trading in tokens, which can be hard to collect at times. Just to unlock Millsap, you’ll have to rack up a whopping 1,230 tokens.
If you do save up, you’ll be getting a great card, who can do a bit of everything. Just like he is in real life, this throwback card makes him a lockdown defender, inside and out. He has great athleticism ratings at 6’8 and can play physical D at either forward position.
On offense, he can be both a spot-up floor-spacer and a post scorer. He has a 92 post hook and 89 post fade, with ideal animations for both.
He owns both Pick & Popper and Catch & Shoot badges at hall of fame level, making him a great option to get some easy threes with a pick-and-fade. He has a 90 three-point rating and enough speed and ball-handling to drive to the rim after a pump fake.
The rebound ratings and badges could be better, and he can be bullied if the opponent is playing a center out of position at the four. His stout defense and varied offensive styles make up for that, however.
Millsap is one of the best pink diamond token reward cards, and you won’t regret saving up for him if you choose to do so.
