    Duke is getting a very good player, but not sure if he is POY worthy in this class.

    “He’s got the off the court values that the award reflects” is the feel I get. Don’t forget he’s American which would certainly sway some Patriotic voters. But even on the court, while not the prospect Wiggins is, Parker is a great player, and just won his fourth consecutive state title. That counts for something I would assume.

    Everyone is on Wiggins D but forgets how good Parker is, and how before Wiggins reclassified, he was “The best prospect since LeBron”. Then everyone immediately determined he was a level down from Wiggins. He is a 4 time state champion. He doesn’t pad stats and go one on one all day like most high school phenoms. He plays within the team game, gets guys involved, and can take over in an instant. He was very deserving of this award.

    Parker’s a humble and team guy. And now a 4-time back-to-back-to-back-to-back champ. Well deserved.
