What San Antonio Spurs Need from Tony Parker in 2015-16 NBA Season

Tony Parker's 2014-15 campaign unceremoniously ended with the San Antonio Spurs point guard lumbering through a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers in the opening round of the postseason.

For the first time in his 15-year career, Parker was borderline useless when it mattered the most. He managed a meager 10.9 points per game on 36.3 percent shooting, dished just 3.6 assists and misfired on all nine attempts from long distance.

When combined with Kawhi Leonard's emergence, Parker's struggles reinforced that San Antonio's future is changing right now. Consequently, the veteran must adjust to a new place in the offense, leaving his role as a featured player for more of a complementary spot.
