Snyder helped Millsap with “Pick & roll situations, screen in the proper place, rescreens in proper place.” He also felt that Atlanta’s offense “suited [him] better” than the Jazz’s did under Ty Corbin.

Spencer Checketts: Just caught wind that the Jazz will actively pursue Hawks UFA PF Paul Millsap this off-season.
