Past Fantasy Outlooks
2007
2006
2005
2003
Parker, who will compete for the starting point guard job with Jason Williams, may be a good fit for the Heat. He’s not a good playmaker at the point (2.9/1.8 career assist-to-turnover ratio), but Miami initiates the office through Dwyane Wade more often than not. In a situation like that, all Parker will have to do is hit shots (36.5% 3pt, 43.6% FG last season). Given Williams’ recent injury history, there’s a good chance Parker will get a steady dose of minutes, even if he doesn’t win the starting job for the opener. He’s a very good source of steals, averaging 1.7 and 1.5 spg in the last two seasons.
While Parker was utterly exposed in the playoffs, his regular-season numbers were among the more surprising in the league. His 11.5 point-per-game average was a full five points more than any year of his career, and his 33.9 minutes-per game were also way above his career average. However, Parker's numbers are expected to reduce during 2006-07, as the Lakers have brought in a series of challengers to Parker's starting point guard spot. View Parker's 2006-06 season as a flash-in-the-pan, and not a harbinger of things to come.
Parker has an outside chance at making the Lakers because of the team's lack of depth at the point guard spot. Even if he makes the team, Parker will play no better than third fiddle to Aaron McKie and Sasha Vujacic and likely won't contribute much this season.
