Parker credits his rapid development to the massive amount of playing time that he has already received. Parker said that most rookies don’t get a lot of playing time and in turn that doesn’t allow them to develop quickly. Parker will be seeing big minutes this season, he will hit some bumps in the road along the way, but that’s all apart of being a rookie. It’s better to struggle now then later in your career.
