Ive been wavering on Jabari, but this seals it.

[Fishsticks]

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.

Parker comes in on Friday and will go through a similar workout. He's not going to be as impressive athletically as Wiggins, but he's more skilled and more ready to play right now. Parker was atop Chris Grant's board all year before he was let go and there is still a strong faction in the organization that is behind Parker. But there are issues with his game. Parker is a terrific offensive player, but the team really needs someone who can start ramping up the defense. That's Parker's biggest weakness.

He's also still a bit heavy (he weighed 254 pounds with 11 percent body fat in the Bucks workout).

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

FAT BOY

He is not a wing player.

Yea that is a huge red flag. Crap now it looks like Cleveland is more likely to take Wiggins.

 

[Fishsticks]

He also had this to say about Clevelands options with the pick and what they would want in a trade.

And the Jazz, if they would make Derrick Favors available in addition to the No. 5 pick, might be able to convince them as well.

Nothing new, but this keeps being repeated so maybe something to it?

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.

Doesn't faze me.

Deron Williams had weight issues at Illinois, too. It's not a good weight to be at, but once it's his full-time job and he's paid millions of dollars and works with elite nutritionists/strength and conditioning coaches, he'll manage it. I don't see it being a long-term issue.

Sure hope teams 1-4 do, though...

Welcome to my view of Parker.

Ford did say the Jazz have made calls about trading up.

 

[jope]

if we trade for 1 we dont have to take parker. (and i doubt we would)

I don't think Deron was that much overweight. So what is Parker waiting for? If he has this passion to be great he should already be in the gym remaking his body.

Legit good question.

I've been warning every man and his dog about this in the draft thread.

I'd be fat too if i had this waiting for me when i came home

 

[Game6Conley]

11% body fat is less than I expected tbh. thats not Anthony Bennett levels

254lbs is probably too big for a Wing player though.

 

[Twin Towers]

I love how somebody was making fun of me for saying he was fat and not in great shape this past week.

Saying I am making up BS............ LOOK AT HIM! You don't need to see the scale. He looks chubby and did all year. He should be around 220-230.

He will become mediocre if he nevers gets his weight down to play the 3 position.

Needs to get to paul pierce weight.... 235ish


it is doable, first NBA money purchase should be a live-in chef/nutritionist combo

 

[Elizah Huge]

254 is a lot of weight for being only 6'8.

Players comparable to Jabari in weight.

Jarron Collins.

Jason Collins.

Tim Duncan.

Robin Lopez.

Festus Ezeli.

Omer Asik.

Daniel Orton.

Maresse Speights.

Elton Brand.

All of these guys are 6'10+.

If you take the heavily processed foods out of this meal (replace the white rice with a fermented grain of some sort, and make sure the tea doesn't have ****loads of sugar), then there is absolutely nothing unhealthy or overly fattening.

It's also worth mentioning that most of what you see here are not traditional polynesian foods. but, yeah, keep over-playing the genetics argument. BTW: it's the food's fault, not the Polynesians.
