47. Paul Millsap

Utah Jazz 2006-13, Atlanta Hawks 2013-16

Paul Millsap has come a long way from a 47th overall pick out of Louisiana Tech, turning into an three-time All-Star and, for the first time in his career in 2015-16, an All-Defensive selection.

Millsap was drafted by the Utah Jazz in 2006 and earned a regular rotation spot while helping the Jazz to the Western Conference Finals as a rookie.

After five playoff appearances in seven seasons with Utah, Millsap departed for the Atlanta Hawks as a free agent in July 2013 and re-signed with the Hawks as a free agent in the summer of 2015.

With Atlanta, Millsap has gone to three straight All-Star games and helped the Hawks to a record 60-win season in 2014-15, where they lost in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Millsap is signed through 2016-17 with a player option for 2017-18.

The current tally on his playoff career:

NBA Finals: 0-0
Conference Finals: 0-2
Conference Semifinals: 2-3
First Round: 5-3
