Missouri: “Coach Gates and CY are doing a great job over there and Gates is a great candidate for best first year coach.”

Scouting Report

Kris Parker Scouting Report from On3’s Jamie Shaw:

“Kris Parker is a long and rangy wing. He has confidence on the ball in the half-court, and his ability as a shotmaker continues to rise. He will need to continue adding strength and overall sharpening his tools and shot selection. There is a lot of natural talent here. There is an upside still to go, and the intrigue lies with the fact he continues to get better a little better each time out.”
