Westermann-style rim protector and rebounder who changes games on defense
Parks stood out at Western Illinois as a high-impact frontcourt anchor, earning Summit League Player of the Week after averaging 11.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 6.0 blocks per game in a 2013 stretch that included a career-high seven blocks against Savannah State[3]. At 6-foot-9, he profiles as a physical, paint-first big who rebounds, alters shots and can swing momentum without needing many touches[1][3]. His best fit is a team that values interior defense, toughness and hustle more than perimeter scoring, and the main question is whether his offense can keep pace with his defensive value[3][5].
