Jabari Parker going to Atlanta

[sammichoffate]

2 Years, $13m

Decent signing, hopefully he bounces back into being a good role player at this point. I could see him being similar to D Rose last year if he works on his three pointer.

That's not a lot of money for a talent like him.

Especially considering what lots of average players got paid.

[ralph_i_el]

He is insanely talented on offense. Could score well over 20 a game in the right situation.

The problem is he plays no defense. He'd be a great 6th man if his overall impact wasn't such a drag on his team's D.

He seems to have great straight-line explosiveness, but poor lateral movement.

20mpg as a scoring punch. you dont want him playing in crunchtime or taking possessions from trae/collins

He shoots well enough to make you guard him at least, and he attacks the basket with a lot of force. I was impressed with that during his time in DC.

Honestly, I know a guy who works for the Bulls and despite him not being in trouble with media or off court, the guy reportedly comes off "entitled" and expects star treatment.

He's like the Jim Jackson of SF/PF's. Very good player with an inconsistent mindset. So he's good enough to be on teams but not valuable enough to stay.

[HoopologyPhD]

I hope they have a good training staff.

[PeroAntic]

Offensively one of the best players in the league. Defensively not good, but not as bad as people make him out to be. If hes not a walking injury risk and teams are not negatively predisposed due to reputation/prejudice, he could be an allstar.

Honestly I dont know anybody who has such a varried offensive skillset, some can dunk, some can shoot, some can pull up off the dribble, some can spot up, some are good cutters, some are good in transition, some can post up... but this guy can do all of these things.

I was impressed with that during his time in DC.He can score, I just wouldn't want him playing extended minutes because teams will just abuse him on defense. He also causes spacing issues on offense so it's not like you would see him w/ a typical starting lineup.

[Jasper]

he could average 25 a game , but his opponents could average a 50.

:oldlol:

We have GSW old trainer which might explain why they were blowing ACLs left and right last season.

Even in style of play he is similar to Melo. Maybe it's a demonstration of how much the league has changed.
