---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS: Sonny Parker is another dad of a current household name in Jabari Parker. Jabari is probably going to be better than his dad though. Still, Sonny had good size and loved to gamble on steals (2.0 PER 36 for his career). He had decent inside game but it was mostly on putbacks and short jumpers, as he didn't have a 3 point shot. He did have a solid PER though. He was a good rebounder for the SF spot, especially on the offensive end, and excellent if played at SG. He rarely turned the ball over.
WEAKNESSES: Not a very good offensive player, just an average defender overall, did not have significant stamina
ADDITIONAL NOTES: In a thrilling game in November, 1981, Parker led the Warriors to a 102-100 victory over the Houston Rockets. At the opening of the final quarter, the Warriors trailed by 10 points before Parker and teammate Joe Hassett combined to score 13 points and give the Warriors their first lead with 3 minutes left to play. The game was tied at 100 when Parker rebounded a shot by his teammate Lloyd Free with two seconds remaining and completed a reverse layup to give the Warriors their victory.
