Jabari Parker gets better and better

Remember, Parker is still very young, even for his class. But the natural maturity, along with the fact the baby fat has disappeared, has added explosiveness to his game. The jumper, including a ridiculous-for-his-age step-back three-pointer, is now a serious weapon. Throw in the fact he's 6-8 with an off-the-charts basketball I.Q, feel and character, and it's easy to see why Parker is a program-altering recruit.
