This Parker being overweight thing is ridiculous. Whether or not he has 4% body fat or 9% isnt going to make much of a difference. The dude is going to ball regardless. Some guys dont need to be shredded to be ballers.

His weight is not a huge problem right now but i thinj that if he balloons up to big baby davis proportions then that would limit his effectiveness

Hes not going to balloon up.

Why not use a more positive example? KLove came in slightly chubby and slimmed down. Big baby was already fat anyways. Jabari isnt fat.
 
I think Jabari struggles with weight a little vs. doesn't struggle.

I think I'd be more concerned with work ethic than weight. (not because he's lazy)

Jabari is half Tongan right?

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tongan

The people who originate from the Kingdom of Tonga. The first polynesians. Gigantic, and have natural steroids; Ulu, and HorSe Tongans are gigantic, and all have a natural ability to play sports. There are two types of tongan bodies. the big (fat) ones, who tend to be naturally strong, and the big (muscular) ones who are the dominant athletes of whatever group they are in until they decide to stop playing. TOngans are powerhouses in Rugby and Football.

Tongans are very nice, hospitable, and religious people. But when you make them mad they'll beat you to a pulp no matter who you are, or how strong you think you are.

So this makes me wonder - is Jabari the "big fat type" or the "big muscular type"????


Getting this right is crucial to our own evaluation/projection of his potential.
 
All this doubt surrounding Parker because of the way his weight is perceived is just hilarious. Its like no one is paying attention to the things that truly matter.

Parker to me is the surest thing in the draft. Ill bet any amount that he ends up being a top 5 player in the NBA.

Surprised Wiggins doesn't back out as well. I don't hold it against Parker and Embiid; they're just following the advice of their agents. They'll have private workouts for the teams holding the top four or five picks. It might make me a little more hesitant to draft Embiid. He'll only have a short individual workout to show his back is healed.

Well, I called it.
And Hack is right (shudder). The draft order will depend on preference and need. I guess a super individual workout by Exum and bad medical reports for Embiid could shake it up a little. But there is nothing to be gained from Parker or Wiggins attending the combine.
