After being drafted second overall in 2014 by the Milwaukee Bucks, who already had a future MVP on the roster in Giannis Antetokounmpo – who had been drafted 13 spots lower in the prior year’s draft – Jabari Parker had some solid seasons interspersed with injuries and down years in which he didn’t live up to his immense potential. Now in his sixth season, Parker is a member of the Atlanta Hawks.
When Parker’s signing was announced there was a fair amount of confusion and consternation among NBA fans and Hawks fans alike.
