Georgia basketball: Juwan Parker past his injury and becoming a leader

Since the beginning of the season the question around the Georgia basketball team was who was going to step up to be the number three guy besides J.J. Frazier and Yante Maten.

One of those candidates was Juwan Parker, a redshirt junior shooting guard at 6’4, 205 lbs. He’s a three-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Role and he’s graduated with a bachelor’s degree in management.

But there was one problem with Parker, he missed all of last season with a left achilles injury that he actually first suffered in the middle of the 2014-15 season.
