Look, it's patently absurd for a wing player who is getting a fairly pricey second chance to prove that he's not a massive disappointment to pooh-pooh the importance of at least 50% of his performance. It just is. No one was expecting Jabari Parker to show up in Chicago looking like the second coming of Scottie Pippen, but - as our old friend Chubbs might so delicately put it - that unwillingness to fix an obvious flaw in his game was "spoken like a true asshole"... But hey, at least now we know what led to a 23 year old second overall pick being left to collect dust on the free agent market until mid-July. Not hard to see why things didn't work out in Milwaukee when Jabari Parker apparently views professional basketball the exact same way that insecure hockey fans view professional basketball. Poor guy has been blindly roaming around the defensive end of the floor wondering why everyone else on his team appears to be exerting energy when stopping the other team from scoring isn't boldly identified as a job responsibility in any of their contracts. Talk about a miscommunication! The Bulls let the ink dry on 2 year, $40 million dollar deal and they forgot to include the "please try when you don't have the ball in your hands" stipulation, how could they be so negligent?!? Oh well, according to the most reliable source (himself), inexcusable defensive lapses are to all current NBA players as a little bit of weed usage is to the group of stoned teenagers in an anti-drug commercial anyway. If evvvvveryone is doing it, Jabari Parker might as well put 20 million dollars worth of effort into his offense going forward! I hope that means a hell of a lot more repetitions since those "strengths" couldn't even carry him past his rookie deal with the Bucks. However, on the bright side, not having any qualms with showing zero urgency half the time he's on the floor drastically brings down his chances of suffering another career-threatening injury...before the end of his career is threatened by defensive disregard regardless.
