Prospect Spotlight: Parker Conitz (2020)
Jake Perper
<p>Flying under the radar in Pinellas County, 2020 Seminole guard Parker Conitz has been on a tear lately.</p>
<p>Averaging just a hair over 30 PPG over his last three games, all wins, Conitz is fresh off a 28-point effort in a win over Sickles on Saturday.</p>
<p>The 6'4", 180-pounder says playing with some talented leaders last season helped him a lot. Current Oklahoma State freshman Duncan Demuth and 2019 guard Colin Sowada (transferred to Plant) suited up alongside Conitz in 2017-18.</p>
<p>"Playing with those guys helped me know what toughness was and how to be an all-around leader," Conitz told Prep Hoops. "It made me more mature, a better player and teammate."</p>
<p>He says this year he has a lot more confidence in himself and his overall game.</p>
<p>"Last year I was kind of a fourth option and now this year my teammates are really helping me step my game up," he said.</p>
<p>No offers have come yet for the junior guard, but Conitz said he attended the Eckerd camp earlier in the summer.</p>
<p>He plans on playing for Team Speights this summer during the travel ball season.</p>
<p>Conitz says his ultimate goal is to play college ball as he plans on continuing to work hard and get there every day.</p>
<p>It has been a steady season so far for Conitz who has certainly carved out a name for himself thus far. On a tough-minded Seminole group, he's quickly turning into a leader on a team that needed one with the departures of Demuth to college and Sowada to transfer.</p>
