Because he has skills of a veteran. If you want watch a bit of this.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G6shnh1jK04 He is like a young pierce( without the clutch)
For someone who's supposed to be extremely NBA ready his freshman season was anemic, just 12 pts and 5 rebs despite being featured in the offense. I'm totally ignorant on the Bucks but at a glance he looks really similar to Derrick Williams or Thomas Robinson, also seen as two extremely NBA ready players predraft. Yeah I meant harrelson, dude looks even more NBA ready than Parker, yet slipped all the way down to 2nd round for being too short at 6'7. Oth Parker is just an inch taller yet that didn't seem to affect his draft stock in the least.
I posted above a video of parkers highlight. Does THIS LOOK TO YOU LIKE DERRICK WILLIAMS AND THIMAS ROBINSON??? And he wasnt featured in the offence at all. Not like wiggins in minny. The team wasnt tanking it wanted to make tbe playoffs. He was pulled a lot when he messed his rotations and often didnt play in the fourth. The coaches are never easy on the young players. If they mess up they are pulled.
90% of his highlights are transition buckets/dunks and perimeter shots, other than a slightly improved shot it seemed almost exactly like Derrick Williams. He played 30 mins on average and only converted 52.7% TS...which is mediocre for a big man honestly. And again there's that measly 5 rebs in 30 mins of play.... If anything he seemed way too small as a PF, the skills are there but his build's like half of his opponents. Since you and Yung T compared him to Melo and Pierce do you think he can transition to SF? Because I don't think he's gonna be a star at the PF slot, he's gonna get dominated defensively and I don't think he's gonna be special offensively at that position.
Yes. He is a combo forward. He will play most sf because our other combo forward is also a rim protector. But it will also depend on matchup on defence. He is very strong so he could/should defend pf. But definitely defence and being consistent from midrange should be his focus his second year. I watched all of his games He is veryyy skilled and way too polished for a 19 y.o but he dunked almost everything. Whether he becomes a star or not i dont know but he wont be a bust. Health provided. He should also improve his conditioning because usually after the second quarter he was winded up because the defence of the team requires all the wings to rotate constantly. Thats why most of his scoring came at the first half. From what we are able to see from fans watching his y games and talking to coaches etc he has imrpoved a lot his conditiong and added alr muscle. But im waiting to see. I hope he is not rushed back.
Monroe is surprisingly good on the break. Milwaukee will probably look to push tempo a lot to make up for their lack of shooting and take advantage of their athletes.
