Mental Toughness: Leonard > Parsons > George Defense: Leonard > George > Parsons Offensive Skillset (not PPG): Leonard > George > Parsons Rebound: George > Leonard > Parsons More importantly, Leonard plays BIG during the playoffs and Finals. He can guard Lebron as well as anyone in the NBA. Some players may have better regular season stats but you make your name in the playoffs and Leonard has proven he can do that.
stop playing parsons 40min/gm in the regular season, and maybe he might show up to play some D when it counts.
I'm sorry but it's absurd to claim that Leonard is in the same stratosphere as George offensively. There's a big difference between being a fourth option and being the first.
Paul George is better offensively and I think Leonard and George are about the same defensively. They are both better than Parsons. I'd take Leonard because I think he'd be a better glue guy and wouldn't jack up bad shots.
You damn right the hate is strong. I never saw piatkowski play but I'm pretty sure he was consistent. That's all I axe for, consistency. Kawhi and Parsons havent been in the same sentence since draft day. 11 million dollar my ass.
Agree...Parsons is a good player, but not good enough to get more than 32 mpg. I want him down to 30mpg, so he is fresher on defense. imo, that's all Leonard has on Parsons. Kawhi gets 8 more minutes of rest each game.
Lebron James or Chandler Parsons? I know its hypothetical but why the hell would a team trade or otherwise just give us a key piece of their team when they are in the Finals or just made the Conference Finals? That's like the Lakers saying "Hey let's get Terrence Jones" or "What about Patrick Beverly"
i always thought about how would parson perform under Pops. I might be crazy but i think he play better then Leonard under pop and his system.
The problem with this poll is that people using common sense, will pick Paul George, so even if they feel Parsons is better than Leonard, they're still picking George, whereas that Leonard is right there for the knee jerkers to salivate over.
George is obviously the best. I would take Parsons over Leonard. I am not a homer, Parsons is just far more skilled offensively. He can put the ball on the floor, solid passer, get to the basket, shoot from the outside. I think he is a better player than Leonard.
