Player Jabari Parker

[childress22]

So it's not the threes, it's the ability to hit 2's. If I'm extrapolating correctly:

First-5 Jabari hits 50.3% on 2-point field goals
Next-5 Jabari hits 26.4% on 2-point field goals

And is somewhat less active and influential all around. Takes fewer shots, draws fewer fouls, rebounds less, fouls less (I read that as "plays defense less").

 

[rhfarmer]

Yep. Can't sustain the effort.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Just fat.

That's on the coaches too. Reward the fat guy while benching the greatest physical specimen ever. (Zaf)

Zaf is carved out of granite. Very, very soft granite.

Does this new NCAA rule allowing unlimited feeding of student athletes sway Jabari to come back?

 

[DrKlahn]

The Kennedy Meeks Rule?

 

[rhfarmer]

Corn dog rule.

So ends the Jabari Parker thread on Duke-Forum.com, all future Parker-related posts to go in the alumni thread.

Man that article is boring. I don't think this guy has written or spoken an exciting thing in his life.

 

[DrKlahn]

Ugh. So now we can't even rip on Harrison Barnes making a spectacle of his entry to the NBA?

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

The ridiculously self-important "Decision" method is the least appealing way to go. I wish everyone would just tweet it out like Durant. However, Lebron's jerseys are apparently the #1 seller in the NBA now, so all you have to do to wash the stink off is win championships, be the best player ever and do nothing wrong at all in retrospect, basically.

 

[DrKlahn]

I actually view his season in a much more negative light now.

Least shocking decision ever.

One of the most gifted offensive players that I've seen at Duke and yet one of the absolute worst defensive players.

 

[DurhamSon]

Are you fucking kidding me? Show some goddamn self discipline. Unless he's pulling a charles barkley and trying to avoid being drafted by the bucks or jazz.

 

[rome8180]

I didn't think he was 20 pounds overweight at Duke. What has he been doing?

I know he hasn't played organized basketballl since March, but that's only a couple of months and presumably he's been working out every day like all serious basketball players do.

Never dip into your own supply -- of jabari bars

The Jazz will still be all over those Polynesian man boobs if they win the lotto.

Reportedly a recent pic of Jabari working out for the draft. Does look like he's put on a few pounds.
