As a Raps fan, I never wanted Parker to leave. With Turkoglu coming aboard, he didn't need to rack up on the amount of responsibilities he had in the past with us. Even if he doesn't contribute much to us on the court, he could have still taught DeRozan some of the tricks of the trade because imo Parker is one of the most skilled shooting guards in the league. Off ball movement, penetration technique, defensive stance, shot creation abilities, shooting, he had everything. He's in a good situation right now playing alongside the best player in the league, but I don't think he'll be utilized to the best of his abilities with Mike Brown coaching. Even with Sam Mitchell we ran a lot of plays for Parker to get open shots, but not a shot at your team, Brown doesn't seem to run anything.

Raps Fan here:

This is the most important thing you need to know about Parker,

On BACK TO BACK games he usually performs poorly especially after playing 40 the night before. He just cant do that. So dont worry, thats why his shot was off last night. Once you get West back and Parker can settle into a nice 25mpg role watch out, he will be deadly.

I remember games with us where when he was asked to do too much offensively, carry us defensively that he would do his best and at times succeed, but when asked to do this for a prolonged period he would struggle.
