4 things to know about newly acquired Celtics forward Jabari Parker

Jabari Parker has experienced nearly every high and low throughout his basketball career.

Once a highly touted prospect out of Chicago, the former Duke University star went No. 2 in the 2014 NBA Draft and was expected to be a transformational player. He never quite reached the perch many predicted he would, as injuries consistently set him back, but he did blossom into a steady role player when healthy.

The 6-foot-8, 245-pound forward has played for five NBA teams in seven seasons. Most recently, with the Sacramento Kings, he appeared in just six games last year and three this season.
