Nowitzki was one of Parsons favorite players when he was younger, and a primary reason he considered Dallas. Now that they’re on the same team together. Parsons thinks that the two can run the pick and roll effectively.
“I think we’re going to be really good,” Parsons said, via the Dallas Morning News. “Me and him in the pick and roll and working off each other, I think it’s going to be tough to guard. We can be really efficient.”
