Ive been wavering on Jabari, but this seals it.

Nothing like either of those players.

He's nothing like Pierce if you compare them when Pierce came into the league. I don't know what his weight was but he was rather slender. And Pierce was more of a defensive player than an offensive player with great lateral movement then. He wasn't a poor shooter, but his shooting developed as he gained more experience.

Pierce has a crafty game just like Parker has and neither have ever been in remotely great shape. His offensive style of play is very similar. Defensively yes they are different.

Lebron weighs north of 250 and looking at him I would be shocked if he was under 10 percent body fat. Frankly I think lebron would be injured a lot more if he got his body fat down lower. 11 percent body fat is a good number to play physical basketball. Shooting guard would want to be less but they dont take the abuse a forward does.

Can you imagine a Durant that can bench 300+ ??

:^O

What ridiculous overreaction.

If anything i'm ENCOURAGED by this news. If he's that good and quick with that much weight then if he slimmed up a bit then he will be nothing short of spectacular.

I'm 100% in favor of us trading for the #1 pick and taking him.

Lol @ those that thought or thinks he is a wing player. His terrible lateral movement just got worse. He is going to be a undersized PF in the league, as far as his height goes anyway. He will probably carry plenty of weight.

I always thought he ultimately settles in in the 260 range somewhere, but perhaps I was underestimating. Anyhow, he's what, 19 right now? He still hasn't hit that weight gain inflection point. I agree that he becomes a full-time 4 at some point.

Right. the problem isn't so much that he's 254, it's that he's 254 at age 19. 19 year olds rarely get smaller as they reach their late 20s, early 30s. People have been mentioning LeBron, Artest and Joe Johnson as a defense for Parker's weight. All three of those guys were a lot smaller when they were 19.

If we were to move up in a postion to grab one of the top wings in the draft I sure as hell hope its not Jabari unless somwhow he slides into the 4 effectlivly. This from Chad Ford today.



What the bloody **** is this!?!?!!

FAT BOY

He is not a wing player.

Vermin, do you have a link?
