[Mitchell Brown] Zayne Parekh playmaking clips: Cross-slot vision, creating from the wall, and special shot-pass game. Some of the elite details: Pre-reception fakes, hip pocket deception, balance of patience to wait for teammates to get open and pace to find early options.

>Scout 1: “Parekh could be the next Quinn Hughes, the next Erik Karlsson if he hits. He has special skill and hockey sense. The other guys in this draft may be safer — they’ll give you 22 minutes a night. You could miss with him for sure, but he could be special.”
>Executive 5: “I’m between Buium or Parekh and gave the edge to Parekh. Buium defends better, but he doesn’t have the type of hockey sense Parekh does. That’s not to take away from Buium — he’s super smart, he makes a lot of plays — but Parekh sees the game at a whole different level.”
I don’t know where I am on Parekh day to day. He’s so interesting. Could end up the best player in this class when all is said and done, could straight up bust, with lots of options between those two outcomes. I think he figures it all out, but there will be growing pains and frustrations.
