Parker Strauss brings versatile, low-usage guard play to UC Riverside
In the 2024-25 season, Parker Strauss gave UC Riverside a steady 6'4" backcourt option, averaging 3.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 26 games while shooting 35.3% from three and 77.8% at the line; the bigger appeal is his all-around profile, since he was a three-star prep prospect known for feel, winning mentality and secondary playmaking, and he also sat out 2025-26 with a medical redshirt, so the main fit question is health rather than skill ceiling.[1][3][6][11]
