    He reminds me a lot of a young Paul Pierce. He will be a very good player at the next level.

    I don't really see explosiveness and crazy quickness in those highlights. Seems more measured and cerebral. Definitely has some great ability for his age.

    i dunno if he's the best player since lebron..hell he's not even the best player to come out of simeon; that designation goes to derrick rose, but he definitely has talent. i've seen him play before and he's more of a combination of paul pierce/carmelo anthony as people had mentioned before me. if continues working on his game and gets comfortable going left, i can definitely see him doing some damage at the NBA level.

    I am never impressed by a player dominating High School Players
    Sure they are a man among boys
    but
    that does not mean they ready for the NBA

    Wiggins&Randle are projected to go higher than him, he's not #1.

    That highlight clip reminded me of Rudy Gay. He's got pretty good footwork and form on his jumper, and seems to finish pretty well. I'll be looking for this kid in a couple years.

    The "Felipe Lopez" element.

    Have seen it all before. Super duper blue chip prep stars projected as the next great who turn merely good on the next levels.

    NBA stopped drafting high school players for a reason. The Ndudi Ebi, Darius Miles, Sebastian Telfair types don't always translate. They offset the Kobe and Lebron types.

    But I think Parker has potential to be good

    Might have something to do with the requirement of 1 year of college basketball.
