I somehow have trouble believing this. He grew up dedicating his life to basketball. He became a DII All American but wanted to pursue more at D1 Minnesota, his home. He spent 2 years rehabbing his knee and finally got his chance this year and tasted success. Next year could be the year he has dreamt of his whole life. He could be a key member of a team with Big Ten aspirations and a chance to make noise in the "Big Dance". From a financial stance this could be a chance to take his "brand" to the next level. I do not think this will be the moment he has chosen to "move on". I think his knees have had enough. I believe his doctors are telling him it might be less than wise to continue playing basketball. Even Parker has stated that he would love to play next season but he is wary of his knees. I suspect that he wants to keep playing but cannot. It is a pity if I am correct.
