The EuroLeague is getting even stronger! FC Barcelona has just recruited Jabari Parker, former NBA resident and especially number 2 in the 2014 Draft, behind Andrew Wiggins. For the strong winger, the challenge from Europe can be a nice revenge on an injury-ridden stint in the NBA.
A new challenge for Jabari Parker, at the tip of the Old Continent. The player has just signed a one-year contract with FC Barcelona. A big European team to relaunch at a very competitive level, whether it’s the Liga Endesa and especially the EuroLeague. The continental competition is attracting an additional NBA name, just to raise the hype for next season a little more.

Expected for a few days, this announcement allows Jabari Parker to enjoy a real opportunity to show that he is still a high-caliber player after a few good seasons in the NBA, between his cruciate ligament injuries which have ruined any form of constancy. in its performance yet more than interesting. We are of course thinking of his 2016-17 season with the Bucks, where he offered 20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists.
His status as the number of the 2014 Draft is not usurped on paper although his defense is a black point of his last seasons in the United States, and he will certainly be a reinforcement of choice for the Catalan team. With a disappointing fourth place last season in the EuroLeague, FC Barcelona’s intentions are clear: return to the Final Four, but finish with something other than the chocolate medal. What to fill the departure of Nikola Mirotic..? Not sure, but with Willy Hernangomez in particular, the Blaugranas are doing everything to come back stronger in a few weeks.
