Parker is a do-it-all forward who effects the game in many ways. He is a solid shooter and can score from all three levels. In addition to his scoring prowess, Parker rebounds the ball at a high level and seemingly plays with a never ending motor. He can also create for himself as well as his teammates and has no problem being a facilitator
There are only a couple of weknesses to Parker's game. One is that he must work on his handle as smaller defenders are able to pressure him and force him to turn it over a bit. Defensively he needs to get quicker as he has trouble guarding his man off the dribble at times.
