Impossible to truly know what it's like knowing how much promise your career held, only to see your body give out on you time and again. That's gotta fuck with your head, feeling like you should be an All-Star, but the ball disagrees.
Jabari's never been a good defender, but it's worse now than ever. He's shooting a lot, but his percentages aren't what they used to be. And since distributing has never been his strong suit, all of that is a bad, bad combo. Combine that with the fact that a lot of the Bulls don't defend well and/or pass well, and combine *that* with the fact that Jabari has really been pushing because the Bulls have been shorthanded and he's likely been trying to prove he's worth a long term deal somewhere? Just a bad, bad situation. A real shame. I hope dude figures it out and either fixes that jumper or works harder at moving the ball around.
That said, he's *still* put up better defensive statistics than Andrew Wiggins. Parker has knees held together by duct tape and a prayer. The fuck excuse does Wiggins have? He's one of the most athletic players in the league. So, y'know. Parker may be riding pine from now on... but at least he has that?
