Anthony Parker is a solid role player for the Cleveland Cavaliers

Anthony Parker does not get very many minutes or recognition for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he makes an impact whenever he is on the court.  Parker gets about 28 minutes per game, and is mainly in for defense with a strong and athletic 6’6″ 215-pound frame.  He also is a big threat from the three point line, shooting 45% from behind the arc (4h best in the league).  That means it spreads the defense out and gives LeBron James and the other ball-handlers room to work and penetrate to the hoop.  On the season, Parker is averaging 7.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 0.7 steals while playing in all 52 games.  At age 34, Parker may not be the youngest guy on the court, but he plays harder than just about anyone.  A lot of that has to do with his journeyman career, which has taken him from a disappointing start in the NBA, to Israel, to Italy, and now back to the NBA where he has resurrected his NBA career.  Parker is a guy that does all of the intangibles on the basketball court and will be a valuable part of the Cavaliers run at an NBA Championship this season.
