Rockets second-round pick Chandler Parsons has started eight of the Rockets’ first fourteen games while averaging 7 points and 5.6 rebounds.

“I was amazed at Chandler,” coach Kevin McHale said. “When he got to practice for the first time, he made as few mistakes as anybody on the floor just from watching. This kid is really smart. Normally, you have to have repetition, repetition, repetition. Chandler was just one of those guys who gets it.

“He’s just a high-energy guy. He can stay in front of people. He understands angles. He’s a very bright player with a really good basketball IQ."

Parsons isn’t surprised by his fast progress.

“It’s more shocking how it all happened, going second round, going overseas, not having summer league, signing late,” Parsons said. “And then it happened so quickly. That shocked me. I’m not surprised with how I’m playing.

“I’m just trying to bring the team another element of energy and defense.”
