#3 Jabari Parker

Indiana Pacers v Milwaukee Bucks
Indiana Pacers v Milwaukee Bucks

The no. 2 overall pick from the 2014 NBA Draft is another player whose stock has severely been hit because of injury concerns. Except that he's had it twice as bad as Zach LaVine - two ACL injuries on his left knee have limited him to only 183 appearances over 4 seasons in the league. The one he suffered in early 2017 kept him out for practically an entire year of basketball.

Parker was still easing his way back to full form and fitness by the time the Milwaukee Bucks faced off against the Celtics. His stock varied from game to game, as he had a couple of microwave games with quick buckets and a couple of duds.

Parker is one of the best scorers in the league even today. He's got a well-developed mid-range jumper, though his range doesn't stretch out to the 3-point line. Although he's a defensive liability, every team needs automatic scorers like him to win games. It will be interesting to see where he lands if he thinks he's worth more than the qualifying offer he's gotten from the Bucks.
