He scored 7 points tonight, but the Jazz lost at home to Golden State.

He had 8 recently. He's playing double digit minutes and has scored every game I have checked. His foul count seems high for the minutes played though.

The other night James harden pulled him aside after the game and praised his defense. From what I've read so far they like his hustle and defense on the perimeter.

He'll be Paul Millsap's little brother for awhile, but hopefully he makes it on his own and gets rescued from the horrible team he is on.

Quote:Millsaps decision looms

The 10-day contract of Elijah Millsap ends this week, which means the Jazz have to decide whether or not to extend a second 10-day contract.

Over the last week, Millsap has earned praise from coaches and others in the organization for his defensive toughness, his ability to play hard and guard different positions.

Millsap — the younger brother of Paul Millsap — said he hasn’t thought of his immediate future.

"I’m just enjoying the moment and trying to continue getting better," Millsap said. "I feel like I’m playing well, but I’m harder on myself than anyone else. I just have to keep playing hard and keep paying attention to details."

Keep grinding, Eli.

A team can offer a player two 10-day contracts. When the second one is completed, the team has to choose whether to sign him for the rest of season or let him go.

Come on coach, show Eli Millsap some Blazer love he's the only Blazer in the NBA. Never know might need a basketball foundation one day.

And I had no idea NBA players still played defense.

Good luck, Eli.

One of my favorite blazers to watch play.

Way to go Eli!

“@Crawford_GC35: Congrats to @Elijah_Millsap on being signed to his second 10-day contract with the jazz”

Great news!!!

He deserves it. It appears he has been busting his ass and playing some pretty good ball there. Hopefully they keep him after this contract too.

Don't forget Cam in the frontcourt, too. So frustrating that team wasn't better than the end result, though they went fairly deep in the NIT.
