If I had a 2nd overall pick who is a stretch PF, and I had a big akin to Millsap already starting at the 4, I would damn sure bring Parker off the bench. Parker would learn tons, grow slowly, and I'd release the kraken once I realized that it was time for Jabari to take over.
Has Gobert's year of benching and DNPs ruined his career ?
Millsap is a much better player though. Parker is a high usage guy who will probably be the focus of their offense soon enough if he pans out. I get what you're saying, but it really doesn't mean that Middleton is a ****ty player.
And according to Kanter's camp, his limited minutes first 2 seasons ruined his game.
