A number of people have noticed there has been a slight dip in terms of Ray Parks' performance for this season. Now the question isn't why there has been a dip in terms of his performance. I think the real question is... has his performance actually dipped?
Based on regular statistics at least, not exactly.
Based on the stats that I got from pba - online.net (you can see his full statistical log here), BRP is averaging 18.86 points a game, 9.43 rebounds a game, 4.43 assists a game, 1.29 steals a game and 0.71 blocks a game. The biggest difference is obviously, his averages in terms of points per game. His average for the first round is 2 points lower compared to his season average last year which was 20.73 points a game. Another huge difference is his field goal percentage. His FG percentage has taken a HUGE dip from 39.1% to an atrocious 29.3%. His 3 Point percentage hasn't been pretty as well only averaging 25%. Now, what makes me say that his performance hasn't really dipped as most people have said? Well other than scoring, he's being doing everything pretty well.
His rebounding has skyrocketed from 7.4 rebounds a game last year to 9.43 rebounds a game this year. For the past two games, he has averaged 13.5 rebounds, and that was against two teams with arguably the best front lines in college basketball right now. Those teams are Adamson with Ingrid Sewa and Rodney Brondial at the helm and La Salle with two beanpoles in Norbert Torres and Arnold Van Opstal plus a monster of a man in Jason Perkins. Plus, he has been racking up the dimes averaging 4.4 assists. He could have easily been averaging 5+ assists right now, but sadly, he had to take over during their game against FEU.
What's my point? NU fans shouldn't worry. Ray Ray Parks fans shouldn't worry. The rest of the UAAP... well, they should start worrying.
Remember last year? He was trailing Karim Abdul in terms of SPs after the first round. Then all of a sudden, he want berserk.
Like I said before this season started, Ray Ray is a man on a mission. I'm pretty sure that come the second round, he will turn it up.
Maybe he took it easy so that there was less pressure on him. Maybe he did so the pressure would be placed on another player, and in this case, the player is Terrence Romeo. Maybe, he's just deceiving us all.
Something to also take note of: His efficiency for this year is actually BETTER compared to that of last year. Last year he had an efficiency of 40.82 while now his efficiency has gone up to 41.64.
