    Just because they're both white doesn't mean they are similar players. Parsons has a higher floor than CBud because he does all the little things really, really well. And he's not showing brilliance because he lacks the shooting ability. If anything, he can only become better. Perhaps he never will. But at worst he'll carve out a niche as the scrappy guy that coaches all love. A rich-man's Ryan Bowen if you will.

    BS. You're either blind or in complete denial. They showed the replay a couple of times, it wasn't even close.

    Well i only saw the replay once, but i was sure the ball got rim and took a little hop because of it. If you say you it didnt and saw it more, then i guess ill take your word for it.

    Ryan Bowen V2.0

    same hustle, good defender, with a little added offense.

    You don't have to compare him to just white players.
    He did pretty good tonight, I liked his play better than Buds.

    No doubt he's making mistakes and needs to work on his shooting, but overall I thought the good far outweighed the bad.

    I like players that hustle and play D. That kinda stuff helps the team even when you’re not putting up points.

    I'm impressed with Chandler because he affects the game without scoring. Rebounding hustle and Defense is what he is bringing to to Rockets, attributes which he isn't known for. When Bud was starting he brought offense and that is it. When Chandler gets more confident in his shot he can be a good all around player.

    Defense and Hustle is what you fall back on when nothing is working. What does Bud fall back on when his shot isn't falling?

    I hope we can find a way to trade Bud. Package him for an upgrade, or trade him for a pick.

    Parsons ballhandling is extremely underrated.

    We might have a complete score on our hands.
