Yes. But in the starting rotation for the gophers is far from NBA. Especially current gophers.

What a world we live in where Parker and NBA are mentioned in the same breath.

Exactly. Parker dominated with length and blocks and dunks on the D2 level. He was likely a top two player in D2 from perception/votes.
Trevor was listed as the 33rd best available after the draft was done. He signed a two way contract which usually dont amount to much but is a special opportunity for him.
Parker will be possibly missing two years of action. His game, while at Northern was certainly no where near NBA level. He is a very hard worker and from receiving almost no interest to what he became at Northern is a testament to that. This is a very tough climb for a guy to battle from this to get NBA attention.
If healthy, he will absolutely be able to play overseas if he wants. Northern alone has a long list of players that have done so. I just can't imagine he'd start at MN and the NBA seems an insane Longshot at this point. But if he's developed a lot and get healthy, who knows I guess.
I hope, for him, that he gets to chase whatever his dreams are. He seemed like a good dude and the relationship with Northern was special. I personally don't care if the Gophers ever win a game and players leaving, I wish them well in their pursuits, but how they do doesn't really affect me either way.Last edited by Moorhead123; 06-26-2022, 05:51 PM.

In a way I miss Parker, his boorish attitude was entertaining as was his skill level. Hope he finds his way back on the court.

He's probably talented enough, and I've always liked his work ethic. I could see a G-League tryout maybe.
Whatever case, I hope he continues playing somewhere.

What prospects will he have playing pro? If he's two years removed from playing competitive basketball, at the D2 level no less - will he find a spot? Europe, maybe.
Wishing him the best though, big fan of the guy.

Damn, that sucks.... Even if you didn't like the kid, you have to feel bad for him. I was really looking to see how his game and explosiveness translated to the Big 10... maybe it won't end up being season ending.
