Trey Parker is a 6’ 1”, 165 pound rising sophomore shooting guard transfer from North Carolina State (5-15, 12-19) of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
At twenty-one-years-old, Parker is older than most sophomores. He was considered a top 100 recruit coming out of high school, where Jamie Shaw of rivals.com said of him, “Trey Parker is electric. The explosive guard plays a confident and fearless style with the ball in his hands. He’s got a crafty, but decisive handle that gets him where he wants to go on the floor. Parker can play the point in a pick and roll system or off the ball as a scorer. The range is deep and his form and release stay consistent. Parker can get a little wild at times, and inconsistent, but the crowd is always entertained. He competes.”
Parker opted to spend a year playing at OvertimeElite – a professional league for players between the age of 16 and 20 – where he averaged 12.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 21 minutes per game – and don’t ask me if that is good or bad. Last season, his freshman year with the Wolfpack, he averaged 4.6 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12 minutes per game. He had several big games against good teams, including a 15 point effort against Duke and a 13 point day against Louisville – both NCAA tournament teams. Of course, like most freshmen, he was extremely inconsistent, getting 28 minutes in one game, and not getting off the bench in another. While he did not get a lot of playing time last season, he was playing for an ACC team, so he has experience at the top level of competition.
Parker’s shooting ability makes him intriguing. He shot 41% from the floor, and 36% from beyond the arc last season. More importantly, he took almost half his shots from three point land – 56 of his 117 attempts were treys. He is an excellent catch-and-shoot guy; he might be the best three point shooter on the 2025-2026 roster – apologies to Dar and Staton-McCray. As a ballhandler, Parker gets mixed reviews. He assists on 20% of the baskets his team makes when he is on the floor, which is solid for a shooting guard. On the other hand, his assist to turnover ratio is 1.1 – he has to learn to take care of the basketball
Coach Holloway seems high on him, which is surprising since Parker played so few minutes last season. Said Coach Holloway in an Adam Zagoria nj.com story, ““I was excited to get Trey Parker. I think he’s exciting. He’s still learning how to play. He’s athletic, he’s probably one of the most athletic kids that I’ve coached, and he’s a guard.”
Seton Hall’s roster is crowded at shooting guard, and several of those players have more experience than Parker does. Parker does seem a little raw. But the Pirates lacked a pure shooter last season, and Parker may be able to grow into that role with the right coaching. He is an unknown quantity so I won’t guess on his contribution next season, but by January Parker may be a key piece for the Hall.
