He's done his commish-jersey shot center stage at the Barclays Center, now he's traveling back to America's heartland to see what he can do with an inept (that's how you get the No. 2 overall pick) Milwaukee Bucks franchise. That's the challenge now facing Duke's Jabari Parker as he was the second amateur player chosen in tonight's NBA Draft.
In his only season in Durham, Parker averaged 19.1 PPG in addition to 8.7 RPG. At 6’8” 235 he has versatility. He also was a 1st Team All-American, and the USBWA National Freshman of the Year.
When you're heading to a team that was 15-67 (and last in the Eastern Conference), there's literally nowhere to go but up. Snagging Parker (the closest player to a "sure thing" in this draft) with the second overall pick is a good start to begin that climb.
