Great video other than the fact that the person who made it obviously has never heard of or seen a box out...

Can Jabari be the 5th best skilled SF in the league after LBJ, KD, Melo and Pierce? Pretty impressive if you ask me, specially considering his size, age and almost 9' standing reach.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

being able to rebound and go, is something that will be a major plus for him in the NBA, now I am not willing to say he will be the best player, if Embiid is healthy he will be, and also the analytics like smart alot too, pelton loves exum, however i do see some carmelo characterisitics in jabari's game, and you figure a full year of NBA conditioning, and his explosiveness should improve

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

I don't think there is any question that Parker will be a productive NBA player. He's NBA ready and could average 20 PPG as a rookie. The guy can just flat out score any way he wants. That said, he's Carmelo Anthony down to the same flaws and everything. Can play the 3 or 4, isn't very good on defense, scores in a variety of ways with ease, questionable shot selection. Every sign points to him being a good scorer at worst at the NBA level. I'd probably pick Wiggins over Parker because he has more potential to be an all-around great player, but I'd be more than happy getting a player of Parker's caliber at #2.

I wrote a full, in-depth scouting report on Parker with stats, strengths and weaknesses, and NBA comparisons here at: http://freeagentzero.com/2014/06/20/nba ... ri-parker/. Also, there are other scouting reports elsewhere on the site.
