Bucks aren't using him properly.
Where would Jabari go in this draft ?
Where does me make us better? Scorer off the bench? We'd have to give up too much to justify that role.
Let me suggest something else... John Henson. The Bucks winning % goes WAY up when Henson plays 20 mins or more. Send Sullinger somewhere, and buy on Henson.
I think Jabari can be a go-to scorer.
How, when he has no range? Teams are just sagging off him right now because he's only capable of scoring at the basket. And he does virtually nothing else well.
Is your contention to teach him to shoot? Why wouldn't MIL just do that, if they felt they could?
As for where Parker would go in this draft.... which Parker? Are we time-warping to Parker's last season at Duke? Or are we realistiically looking at the current players value, after a serious knee injury, and the warts of his game have been exposed in the NBA?
I think that's partially a mis-read of the Bucks situation. They have a lot of guys involved in that offense. Middleton is an outstanding shooter so he's their go-to guy. Parker is playing out of position at PF and coming off a major injury, but his explosiveness is there. I still think he can be the main guy in an offense. If you don't think it's possible for him to increase his range, then you must think it's impossible for Ben Simmons to increase his range as well. So considering we probably aren't getting Simmons... Jabari is worth the Brooklyn pick at least, right?
Jabari has only taken 7 attempts from 3 this year... He shot 36% from three in College. Why does everyone think it's impossible for him to develop range?
Nope. Simmons is a 100% blue chip prospect outside of shooting. He absolutely destroys Parker on rebounding, passing, defense, size, length, athleticism, etc....
Parker was (is?) a blue chip prospect almost purely on scoring, and that part of his game has some scary issues. I don't think it's impossible for him to develop range, but why has he only taken 7 3s this year, and made none?
In short, why gamble on him developing that range when he's shown no evidence of the ability, and he doesn't do other things well.
Put another way, who wants to build around an NBA SF who can't shoot 3s? Until the NBA eliminates the 3, that's a recipe for failure.
