Parker is shooting 57 percent from the field and averaging a team-best 22 points a night. His midrange game has improved dramatically as he has eschewed the three-point shot (just four attempts from beyond the arc) and focused on using his lightning speed to slash into the lane for higher-percentage looks. He has also improved his free-throw accuracy, raising his percentage from 65.0 last season to 69.7 this season
.
What's the reason for Parker's improvement? San Antonio hired shooting coach Chip Engelland to specifically work on Parker's technique, and Engelland's work is already having an effect.
Engelland, who was on Denver's staff a year ago, has worked with Grant Hill, Larry Hughes, Shane Battier, Corey Maggette and Juwan Howard, among others. He is slowly working on tightening up Parker's shot, eliminating the hitch that has hindered Parker in the past.
