]]>Considered one of the top 2 overall prospects in the class of 2013, Jabari Parker led his Chicago public school Simeon Career Academy (28-3 overall) to an unprecedented four Illinois Class 4A championships and is the first player to earn the Mr. Basketball of Illinois award twice. He also recently won the Morgan Wootten national player of the year award and Gatorade’s Illinois player of the year.
Coming off a serious foot injury which left him sidelined for 4 months, Parker averaged 18.4 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists during his senior season and participated in the McDonald’s All-American Game, the Jordan Brand Classic and the Nike Hoop Summit. He was the co-MVP of the Classic, scoring 16 points on 8-of-13 shooting and posting seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block.
Next season, Jabari Parker will play for Coach Mike Krzyzewski at Duke alongside fellow 2013 McDonald's All-American Matt Jones, a shooting guard from Desoto (Texas).
Thanks to the Parker family and everyone at Simeon Career Academy.

]]>Strengths:Bird has a prototypical scoring guard frame (great length) and the skills to go along with it. He is extremely explosive in transition and can put together a highlight reel of awe-inspiring dunks. He has a legitimate jump shot out to 22-feet and his release is smooth.
Overall: Jabari is an explosive athlete. He is going to finish at the rim with flare and style. Check on the windmills and alley oops on the regular.
