Charlotte Hornets: Why Tony Parker will thrive off of the bench

The Charlotte Hornets‘ search for a new backup point guard this summer ended when they signed future first-ballot Hall of Famer Tony Parker to a two-year, $10 million deal. They decided on TP over other guards like Isaiah Thomas and Shabazz Napier. Although Parker is past his prime, he still has a lot to offer to the right team.

Charlotte got one of the most accomplished point guards in modern NBA history when they signed Tony. Parker is a six-time all-star, he’s been named to an All-NBA team on four separate occasions, to the 2001-02 All-Rookie First Team, he’s won four NBA Championships, the 2001-02 Sporting News Rookie of the Year Award, and the 2007 Finals MVP.
