NCAA March Madness: Projecting The Top 5 Picks In The Draft
2. Philadelphia 76ers – Jabari Parker
Easily the most NBA-ready in this class, Parker already has a complete offensive game and is drawing comparisons to Carmelo Anthony, who helped lead Syracuse to a championship as a freshman. He’s 6-f0ot-8 with a wide body, a smooth jumper and improving ball handling skills but he does have some question marks in regards to his defensive abilities going up against an NBA small forward or a taller power forward. Parker, who has averaged 19.3 points and 8.8 rebounds this season, could develop into the 76ers’ franchise player and the team would have a young trio of him, Michael Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel.
