When evaluating the individual performance of the San Antonio Spurs players this season, Tony Parker has become an enigma. A couple years out of his prime, Parker’s counting stats are down; however, when Parker has played well, he’s raised the team’s ceiling and made them harder to defend.
Parker is still great at running the pick and roll. Over 44% of all possessions Parker uses are classified as “Pick and Roll – Ball Handler” on the NBA’s stats page. Parker is scoring 0.94 points-per-possession on these plays, ranking him in the top 20% in the league. Only three other players run pick and roll as the ball handler more than 44% of time and score at least 0.
