Those rankings are impressive (albeit a 6 games into the season).

Good to see they are getting earned respect. I mean come on AK and Millsap could start for most teams in the league.

Millsap would start for a sub .500 team at best. He is not great, fouls out way to fast. Great for a backup though.

Millsap can start for most teams.

I don't think that Millsap could start for most teams. Let's not get carried away.

milsap could start for a few teams, knight could start for a few teams, korver could start few teams, AK could start for almost any team...getting 3 fringe starters and 1 fringe all-star on your bench is pretty awesome IMO

Yes he could, so many teams have a void at center, that they would slide their power forward to center, and then obviously put Millsap at PF.

Teams that don't have a better PF:

GS: Wright
Memphis: Arthur
Detroit: Amir Johnson and Maxiell
Sacramento: Moore
New York: Chandler
Chicago: Thomas
Cleveland: Wallace
Milwaukee: Villanueva
Denver: Martin
Charlotte: Dudley
Minnesota: Love
Oklahoma City: Collison
Indiana: Murphy
Houston: Scola (it's pretty close, but I'd take Millsap)
New Jersey: Yi (I might have a poor case for this one solely on Yi's marketability)

Teams that would likely slide their PF to C to make room for Millsap:

San Antonio: People have always made the case that Duncan is a center
Atlanta: Hortford has played center

I think that's it, but that's atleast half the teams, close enough, my point though was really that he could start for a very large chunk of the league, likely more than half the league, that's great! :-)

1-15 the Jazz have the best roster in the league.

The problem is that 1-5 isn't quite on par with the Lakers quite yet, but it's close. If Brewer continues to shine the Jazz could be the best team in the league with a healthy and improved Deron.

We are championship caliber, no matter what Simmons and the pundits say.
