Jabari Parker has quietly emerged as one of the most consistent performers in FanDuel NBA play, posting at least 20 fantasy points in each of his seven appearances for Milwaukee this year.

Just seven games into the season, Milwaukee forward Jabari Parker is proving to have greatly expanded his game.

After connecting a total of just 13 times at a 25.5 percent clip during his first two seasons in the league, Parker has made 5-of-13 attempts from beyond the arc to open the year.

The ability to spread the court from the 21-year-old, along with a nearly flawless effort at the foul line, has paved the way to an average of 17.6 points per game, marking the third season in a row Parker has increased his scoring average.

Parker has converted 24-of-27 attempts at the free throw line, the ninth-highest average among players that have been to the foul line at least 25 times this year.

In FanDuel NBA leagues, the average player is valued at $6,667. Even though Parker has managed to tally at least 20 FanDuel NBA fantasy points in each of his seven appearances, he is still valued at $6,100.

Twice in the past week, Parker has managed to register more than 39 points in FanDuel NBA play, using a variety of ways to contribute.

Against the Pacers, the 6-foot-8 forward posted 27 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Two nights later against Sacramento, he logged 19 points, six rebounds, four steals and two assists.

Along with posting a career-high in scoring, he is dishing out 2.0 assists a night, the best of his career.

Parker has developed a special connection with Giannis Antetokounmpo, with 27 percent of his passes going to the guard.

For Parker to continue his evolution, he needs to become a more efficient scorer around the basket.

At the rim, Parker is able to produce, converting 32-of-48 attempts (66.7 percent) but if he is forced away from the basket, his percentage drops to an almost unimaginable.

When shooting between three and 10 feet away from the rim, Parker has made just 2-of-15 attempts (13.3 percent) with a majority of those shots coming from inside the paint.

If he made just 50 percent of his attempts from the same range, the scoring average from Parker would jump up to 19.2 points per game.

Parker has made major strides during this third season in the league, but until he is an effective scorer in the paint, he will continue to be undervalued in FanDuel NBA play.
