Yeah I get it he’s a walkon but he can actually make shots. We weren’t gonna win anyway so why not?

The more shots he pops, the dumber the coach looks for not playing him but a few seconds all season.

Maybe because it was Senior night and this was his last home game?

LSU needed a spot up shooter all season but mcmilquetoast left him on the bench

I feel bad for Parker, his entire career he has a real general as a coach and his team is always in the hunt in March to this zombie frick and more losses than anyone.

He's a complete liability on defense. Doesn't take the other team long to recognize that and take advantage.

Pretty amazing that Missouri didn't attack him in the first 4 minutes and took them 3 minutes to try the 2nd time he came in. This board would have been melting in the reverse.

I said this early on in SEC play. I'd rather watch the walk on actually make 3's than the offense MM was running.

Perhaps we could try a zone defense to help out?

He pretty much only made shots in his first game and last game.

Any other time was in a game he was a garbage shooter, to go along with not being good at any other aspects of the game.

Guy looked like he might have a stroke when he came out. Was very red in the face. He's not in shape.

I was about to post this. He's AT LEAST 20 pounds overweight to play at d-1 basketball level.

You can tell he doesn't participate and/or bust it in the conditioning drills.

I’m happy Parker hit some shots last game but I think it should be obvious why he didn’t play more last night, especially because lsu was in position to win the game for 39 minutes

Always was even back in grade school but was taller and sat back waiting to jack 3s and occasionally drove to the hoop.
Let them score 2 on him and then he pops from 6 feet behind the 3 = +1 ...
He SHOULD have gotten time considering this pile of manure team and the shite low level coach. Could ONLY have been an improvement on this current debacle called a team.

You really under the impression that the other guards aren’t significantly better than him on defense?
