My guess would be Ennis. Next whitest guy on the team after Plumlee.

Definitely not Ennis.

Good luck! Even though we root for divisional rivals.. I enjoy watching Giannis and Jabari.

We also like trading players regularly. I hope you enjoy Ersan's pump faking no one and then shooting a fadeaway long two with his foot on the line. But seriously, thanks

Forgive me if this has been beat to death but I've been out a bit lately. Is the projection for Jabari to get some minutes in games this preseason and/or start of regular season? Only quote I heard was Hammond saying they're going to take it slow. I'm not going to lie in that I didn't think he'd be practicing yet and wasn't expecting him until like January. Pleasant surprise.

They haven't really said what kind of or how many minutes Jabari will see in preseason. I'll guess very limited in preseason.

The title of this thread is irking me.....I know Jabari has worked his tail off this offseason, but I won't go so far as calling him "cut" when I saw him at media day. He looks slimmed down. But, from the JS article, it sounds like this was his first offseason of ever hitting the weight room. Gonna take awhile to make a real impact on his body type.

Wonderful news. He seems to be the player this franchise has been waiting for since Ray Ray.

I dont really subscribe to the theory some have that the injury may in fact be a blessing in disguise but after the fun of last season and then picking up Monroe in FA, adding Jabari on top of that is ohhhhh so sweet.

I hope Jabari can stay healthy now. He looks much stronger and balanced than he did pre injury. And he seems to be shooting better.

I wonder if Jabari might be able to play some small ball 5 with his added muscle?

Parker barely looks big enough to play small ball powerforward. He looks like Ron Artest.

Doubt it but it doesn't really matter because Giannis can play it.

6'9 250 I think he can play small ball 5

It's less about his size and more the instincts and awareness. When you're undersized like that you have to make up for it. Maybe in time he could. Giannis I think can do it now and do it well, in smaller doses.

Greg Monroe shows what you do with a small ball 5

I still think Parker will eventually play the 3, and Giannis the 4.

Unfortunately due to either a pingpong ball or the Joel Embiid pre-draft stress fracture, Wiggins was not available to the Bucks even though we were oh so close to getting him. A

But as I look at the walking wounded in the top ten of the 2014 draft, it still seems like the got the 2nd best player after Wiggins even if Jabari has this ACL and possibly a shorter career given his body type.

Looking forward to seeing what he'll be doing in training camp in three weeks.

Insane. Wiggins can't touch healthy Parker. I'd still take Parker #1 overall..TODAY.

Late to this discusson, but hopefully someone has reconciled Jabari's Samoan genetics with his size and weight. He'll be a fine athlete at 255.

Yep, I know it wasn't a popular stance and it isn't a popular stance today, but I took Parker over Wiggins and Embiid then, and I do the same today. Not saying those guys aren't good, or won't be great, but feel like we got the guy that will be the best in that draft when it is all said and done.

To be fair, that's Zeller, and that's not small ball. Also, think about the matchup problems Jabari could create in limited minutes at the 5.

Re: Wiggins, it was definitely his draft. However, there's nothing to suggest that Jabari won't be as good, or better, at this point.

I thought I hated the idea of Giannis playing the 5, but now I know what hate really is.
