PROSPECT SPOTLIGHT- Emily Parker

5’9 2026 G/F Emily Parker of Boonville High School is a well rounded player who does a lot of positive things on offense and defense. She has the ability to play on all three levels consistently. Parker can score with her back to the basket when guarded by smaller defenders. She can also play on the outside off the dribble and she has a very quick release on her shot. This allows her to get her shot off on taller defenders and she doesn’t need much space when letting it go. Parker also uses her body well to position herself for offensive rebounds and she finishes well around the basket with both hands. On the defensive end, she does a good job playing angles which helps her to cut players off when guarding them. Her high IQ is shown when she’s boxing out to get rebounds understanding how to read the ball off the rim to gain possession for her team. Parker has good size and strength allowing her to defend bigger players without being overpowered. She also has quick hands and is able to get deflections and steals when needed. Expect Parker to keep rising this summer while gaining confidence to help her go above and beyond any expectations set this AAU season.
