Ive been wavering on Jabari, but this seals it.

[[size/HUGE] fixed [/size]]

Cause I don't care. He doesn't look slow or fat to me.

Low body percent fat doesn't mean you can ball.

How come you are so interested in his abs?


Why don't you look at his skill?

I think he's a skilled player. I don't think he's a Wing.
What is so hard to comprehend?

You guys are seriously overreacting. I'd say he only needs to get down to 8% to be on par with most other NBA players. He could easily do that before the SL even started, if he had good trainers.

And who gives a ****? He's a baller.

I do think he's lacking in the lateral quickness department and losing a couple pounds of body fat really wouldn't change that.

But like I said, he's a baller anyway. He definitely could become a player you can build an offense around.

you are so stupid.

I'm saying Jabari isn't a Wing. His weight is one piece of evidence for that claim. I'm not saying anything about Polynesians.

Again, you are stupid.

I dunno bro, I'll let the people decide, but I remembered you defended Jabari staunchly in the draft thread because your PhD thesis found no evidence of Polynesians being fat.



Now you're saying he's fat.

Now you're saying he's fat.

So you don't understand the following distinction:

1. Jabari's body is a little over-weight, but he's a 4 anyway.

2. All Polynesians are fat.



Good luck in life.

People are scared that parker is fat? lol if he thinks he needs to lose weight, he can do it. If Kanter can, so can parker

Bump:

I gave up on him as a Wing sometime last December. He just isn't.

I can't see how you justify gutting your interior defense (Favors), drafting Parker, and then playing him alongside Kanter. It would be a disaster.

I do think Jabari looks more fit to guard 4's than 3's. But he'll score on either.

You are saying that because his body far is 11% then that means he can't be a wing. How does that make any sense?

Look at his skill. He can handle the ball like a guard. He has better handles than the great Andrew Wiggins. He shoots better than Wiggins too. Shooting and handling the ball are the big keys to being a wing. The only question everyone else has (not me) is whether or not he can defend wings. I'm not worried about it.

Why is it that, with all Wiggins low body fat, he still isn't a great ball handler? Body fat doesn't mean dick when it comes to skill.

How much does Lebron weigh? Just curious.

Above 250lbs. there are exceptions to the rule of course, Ron Artest was listed at 260 lbs last season, Joe Johnson plays SG around 250lbs.

I agree it's not about his body fat. But it is about his lateral quickness, which is a legit concern if you saw the few times he tried to guard anyone on the perimeter at Duke.

Still find both of these metrics unbelievable. It does depend on how you carry it I guess. Jabari does not look 254, but damn it just seems heavy for a guy who is supose to get by or guard some of the fastest guys in the league.

 

[Stifle Tower]

He'll be able to score against 3s. No doubt.
He won't be able to guard them.

One of the best ways to "guard" a three is by them having to keep up with you on the other end. Wears them down. Opposing 3's aren't going to be able to relax on the defensive and against Jabari.
