Jabari Parker weighed in at 255 @ Cavs workout.

He hasn't been selfish at all, in fact, his passing ability was underrated. He makes plays off the bounce for others in the halfcourt consistently if you watch him play. He also won't be guarding SF's very much at all, so I'm confused by that criticism. PF will be his position and anyone who follows the NBA at all already knows that.

Also, the A/TO ratio argument is garbage. He's at 1.0 right now. Do you know how many relatively high usage rookies have been under 1? Durant was under 1. Melo was under 1. Kobe was under 1. Pierce was exactly at 1.0. I won't waste any more time but go look for yourself. It's pretty damn common.

Basically, your arguments are weak as **** and it's clear you have an agenda against Parker and always have. And you're going to be reminded of it all year long by lots of people.

His ability to guard SF''s was a criticism before the season. I've noticed him guarding PF's this year.

Well yeah, except this Rookie ( Jabari) had a real weak assist to turnover ratio in college as well when he was surrounded by shooters. He's selfish. He gets into iso mode way too quick.

Please, don't feel too good about yourself. Its extremely early.

The whole point is that you don't realize that A/T isn't a good way to measure if a young player is selfish or not. Developing players make all sorts of mistakes that become turnovers, but not all of them are the result of a selfish play.

You've been nonstop back pedaling and doubling down on your overt criticisms of Parker. Be careful, it's okay to dislike a player, but when it becomes clear you have a bogus agenda no one will take you seriously anymore no matter what you post. Every single poster here has been wrong about a prospect at one time or another, it happens. Best to just admit you whiffed and move on.

I get what you're trying to say about the A/t ratio, its just a bad trend for someone who was selfish in college.

I just burst out laughing at your last line. Do you realize how early it is? Just lol.

Most of your posts are laughable. You're trying to draw conclusions based on numbers that you don't even seem to understand.

According to Jabari stans, 20 games is enough to decide whether he's a bust or not.

Yet you were calling him a bust before he played one game. Oh the irony.

I don't think he'll be a star, but I do think he'll be a good player.

ColdBlooded · Post #148 » by **ColdBlooded** » Fri Dec 5, 2014 1:26 am

I dont recall calling him a bust at any point in the season. Star? top scorer in the NBA? Franchise player? No.

But, Jabari stans will be sure to remind me every time he has a good game.

He clearly said before the season lmao, you're a clown

would be glorious to see Parker bust in Cleveland.

i made this thread to expose this bum.

After watching him play this whole season, it became obvious to me he will disappoint many in the NBA. he simply wont live up to the hype. So i dont have to worry about him magically lviing up to the billing,because i know it just wont happen.

im on the side of Parker busting

And you were bashing Parker after his Orlando game this season. You were annoying af before the season with the Parker slander, but now that he's doing good and is the opposite of nearly everything you said(except defense, which he is pretty bad at but is improving) it's too early in the season for you. :roll:

Oh yes, he is going to bust.

I was just accused of already calling him one before the season, which is false.

20 games got his stans fired up. Absolutely hilarious.

If he was doing bad, you would be constantly be spamming this thread. In workouts and in summer league you had no problem going ham on his weak points.

Up to .524 TS already. If he develops a solid 3 point shot he will be an impossible cover with how well he can finish inside, especially with PF having to cover him.

He is going to be a monster, Kidd is coaching him up the right way, bringing him up slowly in a competent team and having to share the ball, next year he will be up to 20ppg with a higher load.

Critical for the Bucks to get a proper PG and move Knight or play him as a 6th man.

He needs to improve his range. For a rookie, he's ridiculously good at finding ways to score close to the basket. As soon as he becomes a threat from 3 point land (at least 32ish%), he's a 20 ppg scorer.

yeah if he can get that jumper going his offensive numbers would look really good. He uses his body well to take on contact. He looked terrible early season but the coaches got him to cut out his terrible shots and look for good one. I like that he's jacking up less jumpers. I think he'll eventually be a 3 tho, just needs to cut a bit of weight.. than move giannis to the 4... He's been improving slowly every week which is good to see. First two weeks were not good at all for him.
