a steady, shot-making guard with proven scoring punch
In his Western Carolina years, Deriece Parks showed real microwave scoring ability, highlighted by a 19-point, four-3-pointer outing and a 2017-18 season line of 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game over 31 games.[2][3] He looks like a guard who can stretch the floor, handle pressure, and create enough on-ball value to help a team that needs perimeter offense and defensive activity. His biggest appeal is that he brings both shot-making and toughness, though his efficiency has been more solid than elite, so he fits best as a complementary creator rather than a pure engine.[2][3]
