Playing just 21 minutes per game last season, Millsap had his smallest role since his rookie season 14 years ago. The 6-foot-7 36-year-old has become more of a center as his mobility has waned. But he’s still effective as a smart defender and capable jump-shooter.
Denver poached Jeff Green from Brooklyn, where he was pretty effective. So, this turns into a swap with Millsap. It might allow Johnson, who was expected to take Green’s role, to play more forward.
