Parker is a name that’s already raising eyebrows and since this her 5th Tip Sheet from me see evaluations here she will always be a Tip Sheet waiting to happen. She’s strong and can overpower players not only off the dribble but inside the paint yet seeing her create her shot and drop it while being defended keeps being a problem for whoever is guarding her. Her “on the ball” pressure looked good, so did her rebounding and court vision

Parker is listed as a 2032, not sure if that’s correct but if it is, oh my. Well, it’s still OH MY because this is her 4th Tip Sheet from the SIMINATOR see evaluations here and the first time I wrote about her I said “she has some serious upside” so I can do this like the words in BOTH and just got confirmations she is a 6th grader. Her crossover, her timing to block shots, her scoring off the dribble, all looked good playing up but she also “never takes a play off” and THAT is something you can’t teach

Parker is, how can say this, “ain’t nothin nice” so excuse my broken english, and speaking of broken, she breaks down defenders in a variety of ways. She’s strong and “threads the needle” from 20 feet for assists, but her powerful finishes after contact, her “on the ball” pressure, timing to block shots and rebounds on both ends spell “bright future”

Parker’s upside is scary as she’s doing things ahead of her years, yet watching her wanting the ball down the stretch and being able to deliver got me going. She’s strong and attacks the basket strongly, and her body control helps her finish after contact. She can drop the jumper, she rebounds and handles the ball afterward, plus her defense is solid

Parker has some serious upside as she’s heady and does a good job setting the defender up to attack the basket as well as create her shot. Her court vision across the board was solid, and she played defense
