I said in a description last year that I’d take Myles Turner over Jabari Parker. I was maybe being a little reactionary when I penned those words, but I still believe that the difference is less than people think, that while Jabari has a better pedigree and athleticism that…
Screw it.
I’ll say it again: I’d take Myles Turner over Jabari Parker RIGHT NOW. I don’t care that my perception is skewed because I’ve mainly only seen highlights of Turner and I just saw Parker get stuffed at the rim by Justin frickin’ Hamilton on a game-winning shot attempt. That’s not important. What’s important is that Turner’s jumper is the god-damn smoothest thing I have ever seen from a bigman. Ever. There is no hyperbole in that statement at all. It’s a surprise when he misses, and when it goes in, it’s like the net and the ball got together and made babies who instead of crying go “swish… swish… swish…”.
