Millsap has three older brothers who play at every level, which has been a great learning tool for the 6-foot-4 senior.

His oldest brother, Paul Millsap, is the most well-known, averaging eight points for the Utah Jazz.

John Millsap is attempting to make an NBA roster while playing for the Utah Flash of the NBA Development League, and Elijah Millsap is in his second year at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, averaging 10 points and six rebounds.

While his brothers went from high school to the college ranks and beyond, Millsap was able to sit back and learn.

"I grew up watching all three of my brothers going through different things, then I would take for them all the good and bad and learn from it," he said. "I would try to pick up and build off of what they did."

But Millsap has not been a spectator by any means. He has worked out with all his brothers and recently has been playing in tournaments on the same team and competing against professional-caliber players.

And having played so much with his brothers and being the youngest has translated into Millsap having a mesh of all three of his brothers' strengths.

"Paul is unpredictable; he will own the boards, then will shoot from half-court unconsciously," Millsap said. "John is a shooter; I don't think Paul can guard him too much outside the paint. Elijah is a slasher, and I am all three put together. Since I was young, I have picked up little tactics from all of them."

With Millsap on the radar of several colleges, he understands it isn't where he goes that matters, it is that he works hard when he gets there.

Paul went to Louisiana Tech, John to Texas-San Antonio and Elijah to Louisiana-Lafayette.

"It shows me that I can go anywhere and have an opportunity," Millsap said. "My brothers told me, wherever I go shouldn't matter, just go in there and play my hardest and someone will come look at me."

Brighton coach Lyndon Johnson believes Millsap's best days are ahead of him.

"He is athletic, jumps well but he has a lot of potential," Johnson said. "A lot of high school kids max out but he still has room to grow physically."

Rough Knights

Northridge has consistently been one of the best teams in Region 1. Since current coach C.K. Hansen took over in 2000 the team has made the postseason tournament every year.

This year has been a bit of a struggle for the Knights, who have started the season 1-11 and have suffered tough double-digit region losses to Davis, Clearfield, Fremont and Weber.

A reason for the team's falloff is a lack of experienced players. The Knights' top returning scorer was Sean Odekirk, who posted 13 points all of last season.
