But Parker needs refinement in his ball handling too, he's a solid ball handler but more than once when he was dribbling the ball in the second half he had it poked out. Didn't he have 7 TOs. People talk about Wiggins but Parker's handle is not their either. He has a jumper but don't overrate his handle!
When he draws multiple defenders in the lane, he can instantly spot open guys anywhere w/ quick outlet pass, he's also very good at finding guys in transition, able to throw a long hockey pass right in target's hand, also able to patiently spot open teammates out of a double team, so he definitely has point forward potential. His ball handling like the two above said, is pretty solid and he doesn't over dribble all that too often, he makes decisive dribbles either from a 1-2 step dribble pull up, or dribble aggressively str8 to the rim drawing fouls.
