Can Jabari Parker become the Bucks' top scorer?
Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker had his rookie season cut short by an ACL tear, but the franchise still has high hopes he'll develop into a star.
What kind of star do the Bucks need, though? While the defense is already one of the league's best, the offensive side of the ball could use some help.
Here's more from Tim Faklis at Sporting News on how Parker can help the Bucks in his second season:
"The long-term hope is that 20-year-old Parker will be the one to take the scoring load. Antetokounmpo, also 20, has playmaking potential and absurd size for a perimeter player, but he is more of a do-everything type. And Middleton has his own role, though he looked good as the team's leading scorer in the playoffs against the Bulls. Parker will need to earn that scoring role, along with the trust of teammates who did well without him last year.
But they're all in Milwaukee now, and for the first time in a long time, they're all healthy. And while their fit may not be perfect, it may work just well enough to make things fun for Milwaukee come playoff time. As the three of them continue to develop, figure out each others' ticks on the floor, and establish a chemistry, they may not seem so similar after all. This might work."
