Jabari Parker: Slow and Steady Wins the Race

The bleak start to the 2015-2016 Milwaukee Bucks campaign got a little brighter this week. First, Jabari Parker returned from a hamstring injury, then the team returned to their winning ways with a thorough beat down of the Detroit Pistons.

Individual victories are nice, especially when the team had been scuffling, but I’m much more encouraged by having Parker in the lineup for a full season. Parker was robbed of his rookie season in 2014-2015 when an ACL tear ended his year after only 25 games.

When he went down, he was locked in a tight battle with Andrew Wiggins in the Rookie of the Year race.
