The Rockets need one of their young guys to be a scorer

You are so wrong... Lol

 

If I'm wrong, and he can be a good scorer in addition to all the other great things he does, that would be awesome!

 

Parsons is clearly filling the his role and that is to play good d and if opportunity presents itself he wil score...I like his play on both ends of court..per 40min giving 16pt 10reb and 2 steals..I'm not saying he is a great scorer but he is a capable scorer, he isn't afraid to step up and take big shots in the clutch...
I think the other young players on the team scoring: Courtney lee will help out too when comes back, Patterson is definatly capable when he is 100%, dragic is solid, bud definatly needs to step it up, the rest of young players won't get chance to show if they can..

 

Parsons is more than a scorer. He can pretty much fill up the stat sheet. He doesn't do anything great, but everything well. Love that guy. Such a bright future.

I do think McHale needs to find a way to get Lee more active offensively when he returns. He can slash, shoot, run ... has the ability to be an all-around offensive threat, AND he plays defense.

I do think Morris can be the guy though. Trade Martin and Bud and give this man more minutes. I really want to see what he can do, because I think he can be a very talented offensive player.

 

I hope so, but he seems like the type of player who will have to play out through his bad stretches in game and not just on the practice court. Especially during a season in which there is virtually no practice time.

 

:grin: when i watched him play at eh end of last seasn, i had rasheed wallace aspiration expectations for him.

 

Hopefully next year the dead weight will be gone. Bring D-Mo back from Europe and play him alongside Patterson, Morris, Lee, and Dragic, and you have a good balanced bench of offense and defense.

 

Parsons can score, but he isn't a scorer. I'm not convinced he can create his own shot. He's like Trevor Ariza with a lot better basketball IQ, which is why he doesn't force the issue like Trevor does throwing away posessions.

Dragic can create his own shot and be a scorer, but as with Brooks, his three-point shot does need to be falling to keep defenders honest. His three point shooting is at a career low so far this year, but it's early, so hopefully that will change and his scoring efficiency will improve as a result.
