Would there be more scoring options with Parker at 2?

Hill is not going to be a starting point guard in this league. He might be a serviceable starting SG cause of his defense. His offense is likely to improve but I think thats his ceiling.

If you had noticed something, with Finley and Bonner both out, we havent had the players to stretch the floor. Blair has played well but he gets most of his points from 2nd chances. This has caused Parker to have had limited outlet options.

Also, Manu hasnt been hitting his shots of late. So when our guys are not hitting the outside shot. Opponents are just going to clog up the lanes and stop Parker. Add plantar f********** and you just have a bad situation. Dont forget. Opponents are now focusing on Parker and treating him as an elite player and are not double teaming Duncan anymore.

Just accept the fact that Parker is not going off for 25 PPG cause the Spurs are better offensively now and we have a strong bench. Parker can reach 25 PPG in the playoffs for all I care. But winning is the most important.

Parker is the only real PG on the team. Hill has the ballhandling but not the playmaking. Manu has the playmaking but not the ballhandling. TP is the best ballhandler on the team (and in the league) and, when healthy, creates more plays than anyone on the team. Ginobili is easily the craftier and skilled playmaker but in terms of quan y and consistency it's no contest.

That said, if Parker is healthy enough to drive down the lane, that takes away almost all of his playmaking ability. He's great at using his drive to create space for other players. But he's not someone who can pick you apart with passes from the perimeter with the defense sagging.

good post.

We are looking problem where there is no problem. Regarding Parker the only problem is mental/physical issues. I hope like Bruno that TP will be much better after the ASG break.
