Jabari Parker finding groove in Washington

Jabari Parker was one of the most highly-touted prospects to ever come out of Duke University. Scouts called him a generational talent, one of the most skilled forwards to ever enter the draft, and the most sure-thing out of all of the prospects in the 2014 NBA Draft. Drafted second overall that year, the Bucks, and many others, believed Milwaukee had a future perennial All-Star in Parker.

The potential and hype that Parker brought to the Bucks unfortunately came to a sudden halt way too early in his career. On December 15, 2014 against the Phoenix Suns, Parker was driving to the basket on the fast break, he slid awkwardly, and his left knee buckled.
