Player A was Paul Millsap. Millsap has been having a career year and I would not be surprised at all if he lands an All-Star selection. His Atlanta Hawks currently sit at the third seed and they deserve to be represented in New Orleans. Millsap offers something other Eastern Conference centers cannot: 3-point shooting. The 28-year-old has already hit 40 3-pointers this season. In his first seven seasons, he made a total of 31 shots from downtown.
