Jabari Parker

I was wondering if Chicago was showcasing him for Utah but looks like he only got time because Bobby Portis was out.

He reminds me of those NBA players from the 80's that would say they're "playing themselves into shape", lol.

A shame really, the guy is a legit offensive talent.

Boylen might be the worst coach in history. His team is ***. Benching Jabari is legit dumb as ****.

I don’t completely disagree (I too think Boyle’s stinks) but Parker doesn’t give a **** about defense (and as a natural byproduct winning and his team and teammates) and doesn’t seem to have a work ethic. Just look at his body. They’re the youngest team in the league and Boylen’s trying to create a culture and hold players accountable.

I respect that. They have some pieces and legit assets there. You don’t want to **** up their growth with some country club atmosphere. But Boylen does suck.

No way he’d do it and with the evolution of the sport, it may very well have passed him by, but I’d go after JVG and if they got him see if he could bring Thibs on as an assistant. Doubt he gets another HC gig. With Carter, Marki, and Portis’ length up front, they may be able to wildly improve their team defensive play.

I agree with everyone about his body. He doesn't look like he keeps in shape at all

I dont think he is out of shape as people think he is. I think his body just looks different because of his genes. The guys really explosive off the ground and quick for his size, especially for someone who has had two ACL surgeries.

Deron Williams looked a little pudgy. Zion Williamson looks a little pudgy. Charles looked a little pudgy. I just think its a dumb way to judge someone. Plenty of guys have great bodies and cant play at all. Players should just be judged on what they can do not how they look.

You would think we would have gotten past this by now.

Deron Williams was often pudgy. He'd come into the season looking like he was on a 5 burgers a day diet. He'd typically lose most of the weight throughout the season. It definitely contributed to his injuries.

I haven't read through the thread so maybe this has already been mentioned, but I didn't know Parker has a house in South Jordan.

I was very near the Bulls bench last night. During the game last night, while Jabari was returning to the Bench on a substitution, a fan yelled at Jabari "Jabari, you should come and play for Utah" Jabari replied "I'd Love to." I was quite surprised that during a game and right in front of his whole team he would say this out loud.
 
It's obvious he is in the doghouse so he might as well be honest. He got a DNP the night before when the Warriors killed the Bulls.
