Paraphrasing here and I can’t remember who said it but… when Conroy drafted Parekh, I remember the first thing from one of the commenters on Sportsnet was that Parekh told teams not to draft him if they didn’t want him to play his game. That same commentator also praised his skill and ability but I couldn’t help but think that type of statement from a young player could rub lots of scouts or GMs the wrong way. It can be seen as an attitude problem or can be seen as a kid being confident in his skills.

Can anyone else remember this comment about Parekh?
