Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6-foot-3 combo guard has the court awareness to run the offense, the shot making to score in volume from 3-levels, and the versatility to defend various positions. Parks has been one of the fastest rinsing prospects in the Central Section over the past year and he was looking to attack the basket on a regular basis on Day 1 of the Shootout, as Sanger was without standout senior forward Jordan Ruffin. Parks has a strong handle on the ball, keeps the dribble alive to find open teammates or get to his attack spots on the wing, has a variety of moves to create space from his defender, using the crossover, wrap-behind, hesitation, spin-move, and fadeaway to get by his initial defender, gets good lift on the jumper with body control to score through contact in the air from the mid-range area, and is a versatile scorer around the basket with the euro-step and up-and-under lay-ups, as well as the strength to bully through contact and score in close range. Parks moves well off the ball, gets to his shot spots, or uses the step-back, and is effective with the 3-ball off the catch or the dribble. Parks is active on the glass, gets points off missed shots, limits opponents to single shot possessions, has active hands on defense to deflect passes or jump passing lanes, and has the strength to hold up against bigger players on switches.
