No matter where he does go, though, we now know that he will be the newest member of the group of professional sports athletes that carry the banner of the Jordan brand as he has signed a deal with the company prior to Thursday night’s event.
With how well Parker is projected to do at the next level, the Jordan brand definitely landed themselves one of the most lucrative clients from this very, very deep draft class here in 2014.
Coming out of high school, Parker was one of the most highly touted freshmen in the country for the Duke Blue Devils, and for the most part, he backed up the hype with his play on the court.
In his one and only season with the Blue Devils, Parker averaged 19.1 points per game with 8.7 rebounds. Unfortunately, though, he couldn’t garner himself any tournament success as his Duke team was upset in their first game.
