Not many kids in the state can impact the game the way that Parsons does on the defensive end of the floor. He’s strong, quick, and has some of the quickest hands in the region. He uses his strong base to stay low and keep bigger guys away from the rim while harassing smaller ones on the perimeter.

Defensively you won’t find many guards in the area that put pressure on opposing guards like he does. He’s a solid built two sport athlete with quick hands and feet that he used to excel in the passing lanes and when he was guarding the ball. His offensive is evolving but his sticks to his strengths and doesn’t over do it with the ball in his hands.

Parson is a former Fab40 ENC MVP set to make his debut on the varsity basketball scene with JH Rose High. He’s a strong-framed guard with a nose for defending the entire floor and attacking the paint to find opportunities. He’s a long-term floor general to know given his IQ on the floor, especially on the defensive end of the floor.
