Sorry bro, you are way off base here with Parker when it comes to his athleticism, his post play, as well as his on ball defense.
You need to actually watch him play. I don't expect you to see anything because you are already waaaaay off.
Just in highlight videos I've seen multiple post scores, even when doubled. I've seen passes when doubled to open players which lead to scores. I've seen drives to the basket, drives then pull up jumpers, threes off of a pass, three's off of the dribble, help d blocks, blocks while on ball defending, rebounding outside of his area, and multiple alley oops. When he dunks on people he is higher than those people when he comes down with the dunk and he's not just dunking on 5'10'' PG's.
Dude is shooting 55.6%, 65% from 3 and averages 22.4 pts 8.8 reb, 2.4 ast, 2.0 blk, 1.8 stl and 2.4 to. Those shooting percentages prove out so far that your ripping on his shot selection saying he can't get to the rim but instead shoots fade away baseline J's is weak. He shoots the highest percentage shot available and makes most of them without having to force himself to drive to the basket every time.
25 inch vert.... you are out of your mind.
He did score off ball and move without the ball, but he also has shown plenty of times that he can create a shot for him and any of his teammates with the ball in his hands.
Leave the hate at the door brah
So you're again not carefully reading what I'm writing, making it easy to rip you...
Come on be better trash talk competition. GET THAT WEAK STUFF OUTTA HERE!
So his "full highlights" contain EVERY score afaik. In the two highlights I've seen and 1 complete game I'Ve seen(Kansas) he didn't have a single successful post move. That's a fact. I even descended to your level by wasting 3 min of my life against the East Trasholina Buttpirates, who don't have a single legit player on their team.
I pointed out a failed attempt to post up against a much smaller player. I've lauded him all the time for his perimeter game, I've said he's going to be the best defender out of the 3. In the last post I said teamdefender, as Wiggins may very well be better in the long run, but earlier to this I stated defender generally, so please select which one you wanna use against me 5 years down to road. Feel free.
I've said he does all the little things and has impeccable timing on his moves and good variation of speed to overcome the impact of his limited speed.
Then all the dunks that have multiple perspectives:
He hasn't one with more than his wrist above the rim. For a 6'8, 7'0 wingspan that's emberassing. While that obviously is enough to dunk, let's see if he's good enough to create contact on purpose on dunk attempts because that's not going to get you dunks over Dwight and LeBron...
The 25" are obv exaggerated, but in perspective to the rest of his physical attributes given by mother nature that's just weak and was simply to illustrate since there's no official ones. I always bet he'll skip the max vert session next spring in Chicago.
Thing is I pointed out a weak move when he had his defender on his back is legit. And in that case his otherwise strong shot selection was not that good. He made that thing, but he'll convert is less often than layups/dunks obv...
Btw I never wrote about 5'10 PGs. I wrote about NC Trashsville 5'10
PF as another exaggeration how trashy his competition is. But feel free to hate on guys Hezonja, Saric, Micic and Nurkic who actually play against competition this time of the year. Because a NCAA 2 quality non conference schedule to cater up to their over inflated highschool/AAU egos is not making them better basketball players...
Thing is I pointed out all the positives, just added the negative: NO POST PLAY. And it's legit in games up to now.
So feel lawyered and troll your *** to the next eye doctor.
BTP -- you're few exceptions to the rule are cute, but doesn't paint rose smell on Exum looks like a less athletic CJ highschooler ****. Exum will fall.
My plenty exceptions to the rule out of whom few are as talanted as Exum are just what they are. You have to give him a legitimate look and if the top3 college guys don't stumble along their journey Exum will have to showcase his skills again at some point if he desires a top3 selection. Otherwise he'll have to be okay getting selected 4th or 5th.
Griffin was far more powerful than Gordon is.
Gordon may be a similar athlete, and a better shooter (obviously), but Griffin powered over everybody in college. Hell, he still powers over people.
His power and athleticism combo is what got people so excited about him.
And BTP has to be trolling about Parker, I mean...I know I'm a homer, but I saw several scores from the post, and if you think he has a 25" vertical...all I can say is wow. Just wow.
Again use your brain and sense the exaggeration. Everyone knows he hasn't taken an official athletic test.
Thing is Gordon plays defense, plays hard, loves the game, gradually expands his game. He'll be a better NBA player than Griffin.
Blake is 6'8.5 w/o shoes, 6'10 in shoes with a short 6'11.5 wingspan.
Gordon is 6'9 with shoes and a 6'11.5 wingspan, but has a 1.5" edge when it comes to standing reach(8'10.5 to 8'9) So higher shoulder or a smaller frame(arm length)
He'll be just fine IMO and he's really underrated.
So and I'll write it again, maybe someone will read it this time:
I THINK JABARI IS A HELL OF A PLAYER, I JUST DON'T SEE HIM GETTING HIS TOUCHES WITH HIS BACK TO THE BASKET! AND THAT'S ULTIMATELY THE REASON HE'S GOT NO CHANCE TO GET SELECTED #1 BECAUSE ****ING BACK TO THE BASKET GAME IS SUPER IMPORTANT IN A SLOWED DOWN PLAYOFF SETTING IN THIS NBA ERA. JUST ASK LEBRON ****ING JAMES. MAYBE JABARI WILL DEVELOP IT ONE DAY, BUT I DOUBT IT AS HE HAS NEITHER AN ATHLETIC EDGE, NOR AN EDGE IN TERMS OF SIZE OVER HIS NBA SF COMPETITION(YES KKK WE FINALLY HAVE A SMALL FORWARD, GREAT RIGHT?)
SO MAYBE HE SHOULD BRING HIS POST GAME TO ACTUAL GAMES AND NOT JUST PRACTICE. WE'RE TALKING BOUT PRACTICE!
