There’s one future star you don’t need to worry about – Milwaukee’s Jabari Parker is finding a way to maximize his potential in the Association; a flat-out winner (won 4 straight state titles in HS), Jabari is a main reason behind the culture change taking place in Milwaukee; scoring profile: Parker primarily gets buckets from midrange (slick, one-dribble jumpers, step backs) but also finishes strong in the lane – dunks a lot, reminiscent of an 80s-style aerial artist who merges quickness w/ power; future PnR duo with Giannis?; quick learner: needs to improve distance shooting and defending quicker opponents – usually checks fours, does he need more (or less) mass to have better success?; in midst of career year before season-ending ACL injury* (Feb. 8th)
