Class of 2027 • 6'3" G/F • Sanger West High School (Fresno, CA)

At 6'3" with a left-handed skillset and an instinct for creating advantages, Kharon Parks is shaping into the type of versatile, high-impact player that college coaches love to build around. Entering his junior season at Sanger West High School in Fresno, California.

Parks is focused on elevating his scoring, strengthening his all-around game, and putting his team in position to chase a Valley championship—all while reaching key milestones that will make his name stand out on college recruiting boards.

A Swiss-Army Knife on Offense

Parks is more than a scorer—he’s a creator. His presence naturally draws defensive attention, forcing help rotations that open up clean looks for teammates. Whether it’s dumping passes to the bigs, kicking out to shooters, or attacking open lanes when defenders collapse, Parks consistently makes the right read.

Influenced by two of the game’s all-time offensive technicians—Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant—he incorporates footwork, pace, and composure to control the tempo of each possession.

“When the defense collapses, somebody is open. I just make the right play.”

It’s this blend of scoring potential and decision-making that makes Parks a dependable option on the wing and a future asset at the college level.

The Blueprint for a Breakout Season

After posting 11 PPG, 2 APG, and 3 RPG last year, Parks has sharpened his game with a clear vision for his junior campaign:

18–20 points per game
5+ assists per game
6+ rebounds per game
Greater defensive impact
Reach 1,000 career points
Lead San Reyes to a Valley championship

To reach these goals, he’s zeroing in on three developmental keys:

1. Shooting Consistency

Improving rhythm and accuracy across all three levels to become a constant scoring threat.

2. Stronger Finishing Through Contact

Turning floaters into aggressive takes at the rim—absorbing contact and converting.

3. Defense as a Calling Card

Becoming more active in passing lanes, contesting shots, and using his size to disrupt scorers.

Parks understands that growth requires intentional effort, and he's embracing that challenge every day.

Building a College-Ready Profile

For Parks, the next step after this breakout season is playing college basketball—ideally staying close to home at a California program such as UCLA or Fresno State. He’s committed to showing coaches exactly what they’ll get: a hard worker, a leader by example, and an everyday contributor who elevates team play on both ends.
