As a College Recruit

Dennis Parker, Jr. has good length and a strong frame. He has a projectable frame that should add weight instantly once in a college strength program. Parker's defensive ability intrigues. He is a good team defender, with great instincts in the passing lanes. he also plays with a toughness and a competitive spirit which nets him production on that end of the floor. The jump shot is streaky and the release is inconsistent. He does shoot it better off the bounce, with the pull-up, than off the catch as a spot shooter. Parker can get downhill in the half-court and he absorbs contact in the paint. He is a solid to an above-average athlete. A good player who can affect the game on both ends of the floor.

Parker has a great frame and a competitive nature. He has always been a very good defender, using his length for a lot of deflections as a team defender. He can move his feet on the perimeter and switch down a line up with his length. This season Parker vastly improved his shot creation. He has a nice mid-range and mid-post game. He has turned what used to be a question-mark, three-point shooting, into a weapon now. Parker is an above-average, but below-elite, athlete. His father was a football player and Parker gets some of his competitive nature from him. He battled with injuries early in his career, but the 6-foot-7 wing took big strides this high school season. Won a state championship.
