Parker has been turning heads with his distribution skills this season, capped by a pair of stellar performances in Sacred Heart’s 2-1 week. Coming off the bench, Parker dished for 9.0 assists per game, while also contributing 7.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per outing. He shot 50.0 percent from three-point territory and 84.6 percent from the line. Parker became the first NEC freshman in over a year to register a points/assists double-double with 12 points and 10 dimes in SHU’s 98-89 win over Hartford last Tuesday. He went on to rack up 13 assists to go along with seven points and six boards in an eight-point setback at Boston College on Thursday. The 13 helpers were the fifth-most in a DI contest this season and his third double-digit assist game of the year. Parker, who hails from Beaverton, OR, currently leads all DI freshman and ranks first in the NEC with 7.8 apg. He is fourth nationally in assists.
