Style of play and reputation

Because of his origins, Parker is often compared to Derrick Rose , who is also from Chicago .

Some observers see their style of playing more reminiscent of Grant Hill or Paul Pierce . The Dime Magazine describes him as "Grant Hill with the ability to jump shot ." Parker himself sees Paul Pierce and Carmelo Anthony as his role models.

In a May 2012 cover story, Sports Illustrated featured Jabari Parker as the best high school player since LeBron James . As a result, there were numerous objections from other commentators. Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy sees him as the best high school player since Greg Oden . Parker does not have the same physical strength as James his age. Jeff Borzello of CBS Sports also saw Parker as not as dominant as Dwight Howard in 2004 and Greg Oden in 2006 and asks whether Andrew Wiggins of the same year should not be preferable to Parker.

Personal

Parker is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints denomination. Also known as the Mormons . His mother is originally from Tonga , and his father, Sonny Parker, is a former NBA professional who worked for the Golden State Warriors between 1976 and 1982 . Parker also has six other siblings.
