Jabari Parker is one of the best and brightest young college basketball players. Parker seems like one of the more NBA ready prospects while posting 22.1 PPG and 7.8 RPG for the Duke Blue Devils so far during the season. One common pro Parker has been compared to has been New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony. Parker was fine with the comparison:

UCLA head coach Steve Alford also chimed in:

Some people might take that a little too far and complain about Melo's lack of winning at the NBA level. We live in a "count the ringzzzz" era of basketball where a championship ring is the end all be all to being a great player. Either way, Parker's abilities on the floor will do the talking as to what player he will be in the NBA style of play.
