NCAA Basketball: Top 10 players to wear jersey No. 35 in 2023-24 season

7. Dominic Parolin (Lehigh)

After great work in Canada, Parolin found his way into the college game by way of Lehigh, arriving back in 2020. His role with the Mountain Hawks gradually increased, starting off as a valuable backup forward for the program. This past season was by far his best with Lehigh and saw improved production across the board.

As a senior, Parolin put up 11.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game for career-best numbers. He showed potential as an outside shooter while still hitting a decent clip from inside the arc. This season didn’t exactly go as planned for the Mountain Hawks, though Parolin emerged as one of their top scoring options and their best rebounder. In fact, his performance earned him Third Team All-Patriot League honors.

His 16-point, 8-rebound outing on opening night was a sign of things to come, though Parolin saved the best for league play. He scored 20 points in the first time in his career in a mid-January game against Navy but surpassed that a few weeks later with a monster outing, putting up 33 points in an overtime win over Lafayette. Parolin was an important part of Lehigh’s strong finish to the season and will look to make an impact somewhere next season.
