Chandler Parsons is a glorified role player

[Kidbasketball20]

This is after witnessing 3 seasons of Parsons ball.

The role he was given in Houston could not have been more suited for him. Yes he put up good numbers, but ANYONE in that situation (2nd offensive option, 2nd most ball possession) would put up numbers like that. Kevin McHale was also a major supporter of him regardless of any careless TO's he made. He was given a very long leash.


Now with the Mavericks he is being exposed. His contract is untradable and unless his shooting and defense improves, I'd say he has the worst contract in the league.


Having said that I think Parsons is a swell guy and a great representative for white basketball. But his skills are laughably overrated.

He is a good player but i dont think anyone calls him a star player

He seems to have lost all his athleticism this season. He can't finish anything and he can't do anything off the dribble.

3 years $46 Mil is star player money.

What role doe? Inefficient chucker?:confusedshrug:

[KyrieTheFuture]

He's a glorified scrub so far, I used to love this dude on Houston but even then I knew he was worth less than 10 a year

lol pretty much

He never could do anything off the dribble besides his patented pump fake lol.

I like Parsons, but not at that price tag. Really happy that Morey did not match.

[Mr Exlax]

Rockets are supposed to miss the playoffs cause all we got was Ariza lol. Hell he's playing better than Parsons ever did for us. In Morey we trust!

[navy]

In Morey we trust!
You know damn well that's not true.

Great move trading Lin and Asik away for nothing! :bowdown: :bowdown:

You right Chandler Parsons is a glorified role player but Lin is a Glorified bench player.

Morey still did better than the GM of your favourite team during the off season I bet. Speaking of which, what team do you even root for?

[Mr Exlax]

You know damn well that's not true.

It's sorta true. He's trying to build a winner. We struck out on the big time FA's during the offseason but I'm just happy he made moves to free up space to try and nab one. They all stayed put so we really didn't lose to another team.

[ALBballer]

Chandler is overpaid but the contract only runs 3 years at most. Chandler is still young and I think he will get his act together but he will never be worth 15 mill.

I don't think he has the worst contract in the league either, that title goes to Josh Smith. Gerald Wallace, Tyreke Evans, Eric Gordon and Joe Johnson also come to mind.

[Kidbasketball20]

You right Chandler Parsons is a glorified role player but Lin is a Glorified bench player.

Jeremy Lin's last 4 games:
1. 17 points, 5 ast, 8/15 FG (55.3%)
2. 18 points, 5 ast, 8/11 FG (72.7%)
3. 3 points, 4 ast, 1/5 FG (20.0%)
4. 15 points, 10 ast, 6/7 FG (85.7%)

What a glorified bench player :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Cone]

hes the 4th best player on his team. people who called him anything more than a good role player was overrating him. not a surprise

[UK2K]

Great move trading Lin and Asik away for nothing! :bowdown: :bowdown:

Pelicans pick is in the lottery now, and will be by seasons end.

Then of course there's NYK, SAC, and MIN 2nd round picks. All likely between 31-38.

[shadow]

He is a francis without his mobley (lin). The houston connection strikes again.

Turnover rate is at 23% this season. Ast/TO ratio is 1.66, good for 40th out of JUST POINT GUARDS.

Chandler parsons is a scrub posing as a role player.

[midatlantic09]

I'm not sure why people are shocked by his underwhelming performance. He's always been an average/slightly above average player (his stats are a bit inflated because he usually plays 36+ mpg) and he's closer to 30 than 20 so there's no reason to believe that he will improve drastically over the next few years.

That said, the real reason Parsons likely got the contract he did is because he's a good representative of white basketball, has a clean cut image, doesn't cause locker room problems, and can get you 15/5/3 on a somewhat consistent basis. He's a solid player, but will never be a star in the NBA.

Because the Rockets were crucified for not matching his offer. Nobody except rocket fans thought the contact was too much, and when we said so, we were just called haters or salty.

Truth is, Dallas overpaid for nothing. He's no better than Dieng and certainly not better than Ariza.

He got his money because one owner had a personal vendetta, and now it looks like he got played.

Yipee. Doesn't negate the stats.

I don't know how Cuban got played exactly, If the Mavs didn't get Parsons, they would have literally been screwed. They are 11-5 at this point, which was way better than last year (although the return of Tyson Chandler also helped). Ariza's defense is better but he's shooting just as terrible as Parsons recently.

Because they paid 15 for Parsons when they could have had Ariza for 8 oror Dieng 10.

Both of them would be better fits for Dallas, just llike they'd be better fits for Houston.

Houston is now top 3 in PPG allowed, FG% allowed, points per shot allowed, even without their 2nd team all defense PG and their all star center, and that's a direct result of replacing Parsons with Ariza.

No it doesn't.

40th is 40th no matter how you want to look at it.

stalkerforlife

exactly. no wonder that stalkerforlife is kobe stan. he truly thinks parsons is a MVP candidate and that the MAVS win games due to his GREATNESS.

you know saying this is so....incredibly sad....that proofs that he didnt watch 1 single game the whole mavs season (maybe only the mavs-lakers game)


PARSONS right now CANT create his own shot and ISNT driving to the basket (as we mavs fans hoped) and in addition, he ISNT even hitting his OPEN jumpers. its sad right now.:facepalm

the mavs are DIRK. then chandler and ellis.

[oarabbus]

What about all the people saying he's "pure trash" or doesn't belong in the NBA?

If I knew, or cared enough, how to find all my posts on Parsons, I said he can't create his own shot probably 100 times on this board, and I was called a hater who doesn't watch basketball.

No shot creation. No defense. He's a role player. His ceiling is Korver.

[coin24]

Role player who can light it up from 3 occasionally, also very cute

[Nash-tastic]

While he isn't living up to his contract, he's far from the worst contract in the league

[GimmeThat]

I don't know if points in the playoffs mean more or not.

especially points in the playoffs in the contribution of a win.

[Bigsmoke]

He can ball.

Give a guy more than a few weeks hey

I keep seeing that image, whats the context?

[StephHamann]

Houston fans are obsessed with him, constantly shitting in Mavs threads how good they are without him and jadadadada.

Salty as hell

and people need to stop overreacting, pre Konex curse the Mavs looked like a solid 4-6 seed.

Honestly bro, houston fans aren't too concerned about him. We definitely don't shit on him. He's playing worse than I expected, but he's nowhere near worth his contract. Not obsessed. Just an observation.

[YouGotServed]

Houston fans knew he wasn't more than a role player who put up inflated stats thanks to the system. Everyone called us out on our "BS". Now look at Parsons. Role player with a star player salary.

We signed a better player in Ariza for half the money. 12-3 with no Beverley, Howard and Terrence Jones. Morey does it again. Rockets fans stay winning. YGS stays biwinning.

Total nonsense....we'd be a better team if we had gotten Ariza and brought back Carter and Blair....demonstrably better actually to date in this season.

And that assumes we don't do anything else.

I'll look for the post, but early on I said we should go after Bradley and Ariza or Thomas and Ariza.

There were so many options for the Mavs if we didn't chase Lebron/Melo and settle on Parsons.

The reasons we are "better" so far this season is because Wright is healthy and Tyson is significantly better than Dalembert....Parsons has hurt us so far this season....not helped.

You're literally a walking trashbag.

My posting pattern isn't relevant. Stick to the topic. Parsons is overrated and overpaid. Period.

[tamaraw08]

Parsons is very over-rated. Too weak to defend PFs, too slow to defend SF's, inconsistend shooter etc etc. I can't see this guy playing in the 80-s and 90's, defending C-Webb, Sheed.
