Parikh is a southpaw guard/wing who has seemed to put on some muscle over the past year to his 6-foot-5 frame and he knows how to use it when he gets downhill en route to score at the rim. If his defender cuts off his drive successfully, Parikh can turn and back them down to his liking in the mid-post while maintaining good floor vision as defender slide to help in the middle. He made some nice reads as a passer in ball screens or DHO’s where he showed patience and manipulation to open up the window necessary to feed his cutting teammate. He brings positional size, IQ and defensive versatility at the high school level.

-The skill progression and body development over the past year serve as positive indicators of future success as Parikh is moving better out there on the floor. The improvements to his conditioning and the increasing fluidity of his lateral movements should allow him to earn himself more playing time this season. But the biggest skill that he brings to the table is his ability to shoot it with range with improved footwork coming off of pindowns or staggers. Already standing at 6’5 and under the direction of one of the best coaches in the country– I’m betting on the long term upside here.

Parikh’s overall skill set is improving with time and the 6-foot-5 southpaw had some plays that would support those claims. He’s a guy that’s going to give 100 percent on both ends of the floor and is willing to make the play that leads to the bigger play. For example, he had a few hockey assists thanks to his unselfish approach as a ball mover while also getting a few looks from 15-to-17 feet where he rose up with confidence.
