wow that seemed to come out of nowhere, the Jabari part I mean.

Not sure if last nights game is part of the reason that Wagner is gone, but it couldn't have helped.

Sometimes when teams release a guy they give him a little time to showcase for the next team as a favor to the agent. I'm not sure if that was the case but it didn't help Wagner.

He will compete with Grant (and Semi) for back up minutes at the 4 slot.

The reactions that are going to come from a section of the fanbase when Grant Williams keeps getting consistent minutes and Parker gets very little, should make for some really angry game threads and other new threads.

He could very well be a Melo type of player off the bench. He could score in bunches when healthy.

This potentially has us go 10 deep for fresh legs to take us to playoffs with momentum and energy. Great signing.

easy young man, easy...
lower expectations. lol

I don't expect much from him.  Although he can dribble and pass and shoot.  That seemed pretty absent during that collapse last night.

I just hope that Brad uses him.  I suspect he will; he uses Edwards.  Jabari doesn't deserve 20 minutes per night, but in certain games he could be really useful.

That said, we'll be lucky if he has the impact that Teague did.

I think in the short-term he's competing to show he can even stay on the court at all.  He's played 105 minutes of basketball in the last 16 months.  He's not going to compete for Grant's role any time soon.  This is as much an audition for next year, with the hope he can get into enough shape if a matchup presents itself in the postseason.

I know nothing about him.  What’s his problem?

2 ACL tears, doesn’t play defense, poor work ethic and mentality.

What isn’t his problem?

He’s shooting under 30% from three over his last three seasons (105 games).  Scoring with size, maybe, but not shooting.
