Add another guard to the fold for Seton Hall basketball.
Trey Parker, who was a freshman this past season N.C. State after playing two years in Overtime Elite, has committed to the Pirates.
Here are three things to know about him:
1. He’s 21 years old

The 6-foot-1, 165-pound Fayetteville, N.C. native was a consensus top-150 recruit coming out of high school when he opted to play in Overtime Elite for two seasons. In 2023-24 he averaged 11.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.3 steals per game in the junior pro league.
2. He came off the bench at N.C. State
In his one season with the Wolfpack, Parker appeared in 27 games and averaged 4.6 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 assist in 12 minutes while shooting 41 percent from the field, .357 from 3-point range and .750 from the free-throw line. His role increased as the season went on. He also earned ACC All-Academic honors.

Some of his notable games:
Vs. Duke: 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range
Vs. Stanford: 19 points on 6-of-11 shooting, including 5-of-8 from 3-point range, and 5 assists
Vs. Louisville: 13 points on 5-of-13 shooting, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range, and 3 assists.

3. His nickname is “Showtime Trey”
Parker is an elite athlete who came to N.C. State best known for his acrobatic dunks. He’s more of a shooting guard than a point guard, which creates some challenges at 6-foot-1. It will be interesting to see how he fits into a rotation that is almost all guards and wings at this point.

If the Pirates are planning on pressing defensively as a base defense and pushing the ball, which seems likely given their personnel, it could unlock his potential.
The Hall has three open scholarships and size up front is obviously a need.
