Tony Parker: Power Ranking Most Likely Landing Spots for Elite Recruit

Tony Parker has become one of the most coveted recruits left unsigned after Shabazz Muhammad and Nerlens Noel made their commitments on Wednesday night. The talented big man has no shortage of options to chose from, according to Rivals.

Let's take a look at the programs that would best suit Parker, not only for his collegiate career, but also looking ahead to a potential jump to the NBA.

1. Duke

After a shocking loss to Lehigh in the NCAA tournament, Duke will be looking to bounce back in a major way next season. They already have one highly-regarded prospect arriving in Rasheed Sulaimon, and Parker would provide another instant boost.

A lack of size on the interior has been a major problem for the Blue Devils, and also represents the biggest reason why teams like Lehigh give them trouble. They aren't able to dominate the paint like other power schools, which leaves them open to upsets.

The combination of exposure while playing in the ACC and getting to learn from one of the nation's best coaches in Mike Krzyzewski is enough to give Duke an edge.

2. Georgia

Georgia hasn't been able to land many top recruits in recent seasons, but landing Parker would help buck that trend. It would also help the Bulldogs become a lot more competitive in the SEC. They didn't have a single forward average more than eight points last season.

The Bulldogs receive a boost because Parker resides in Georgia and played AAU ball with the Georgia Stars. Staying close to home, but still getting a chance to showcase his skills in a power conference seems like an ideal combo.

Teaming up with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also has the potential to give the Bulldogs the best inside-outside combo in the conference. Every day he doesn't choose a bigger program, Georgia's chances improve.

3. UCLA

Having received commitments from Shabazz Muhammad, Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams, UCLA already has one of the country's best classes. Adding Parker to the mix would be enough to turn the program around next season.

The Bruins are already a contender in the Pac-12, which didn't have a dominant team last season. Parker would be the post player they need to fill out their starting lineup, while allowing other players to slide down the rotation to become valuable bench assets.

It's unclear how the Muhammad decision will affect Parker, but playing alongside fellow talented freshmen can work as Kentucky proved. Because of that, UCLA can't be counted out.
