On July 14th, 2018 the Chicago Bulls signed Jabari Parker to a two-year deal worth $40 million. In the beginning of the summer, Ray Allen spent four days working out with Jabari Parker. Allen had some nice things to say about Parker.

After two torn left ACLs in his first four seasons in the NBA, the newest member of the Chicago Bulls Jabari Parker is back to being fully healthy. Just like the rest of the Bulls players, Parker has been working his butt off this summer.

Gery Woelfel is a journalist and an editor for Woelfelspressbox.com. Woelfel recently wrote about Jabari Parker’s summer.

To start the summer, Gery wrote that Jabari traveled to New York to workout with Ray Allen. Parker spent four days working out with him. Allen was just inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Here’s what Ray Allen told Gery Woelfel about Jabari Parker:

“He’s a very good, humble, down-to-earth guy,” Allen said. “As a player, he reminds me of Paul Pierce but bigger. His potential is so great.”

Gery wrote that Jabari also spent several weeks training with John Lucas II. Lucas played 14 seasons in the NBA. He spent two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks and averaged 12.1 points and 5.5 assists per game.

Lucas currently works for the Houston Rockets as the players development coach. Jabari worked out with Lucas in Houston and also in Chicago.

Frank Johnson was the assistant coach for the Bucks last season. Gery said that Jabari is expected to fly to Phoenix to work out with Johnson.
