Of course, Millsap has his advantage over Horford—individual defense and rebounding capability, his college days were not entirely wasted.
Millsap is in his contract year, and the media offered a renewal quote with a mid-level starting salary based on last season's performance, but even if he improves significantly this season, the starting salary is estimated to be around seven to eight million.
As for Millsap, by the end of his sophomore season, the market price for a contract extension had already exceeded ten million.
The two had similar talents, but with such a disparity in their early performances, Zhang Yang indeed feels a bit regretful, but if that weren't the case, it wouldn't have been their turn to pick them.
The Bobcats won both preseason games against the Hawks with Millsap leading, mainly because the three major stars on the opposing perimeter didn't play much, leaving Crawford and Horford to manage things on the court.
