    I like how this guy doesn't even try to disguise his trolling anymore lol.

    Anyway, CP to Artest comparison is very apt.

    Fixed. Disappointing to see Chase not developing like we thought he would, but definitely helpful to see Shane's defense and intangibles are being picked up with Parsons.

    He definitely has style to his offensive game can but doesn't excel in any one area. His bball IQ is questionable and he doesn't play good defense.

    Actuall this is a good comparison (except the mind coming with those skills). it is refreshing to see a comparison with a non-white player. I do not know why people feel the need to compare him to White players even though besdes being white they have nothing in common. Ryan Anderson.... really? what do they have in common?

    Production has fallen off. Last 10 games, he shot 35% from the field and avg 8.0 ppg.

    After looking at 2012 draft picks, I was looking at 2011 picks, here's something interesting...

    Uh, Artest and Parsons aren't alike at all. Artest relies more on power and is built like a tank, Parsons is stick thin. They way they play defense is different as well, Artest uses his strength to bully people, Parsons uses his brains and length to bother people's shot.

    IMHO Parsons has more in common with Battier, he's basically Shane Battier if Battier had an alpha dog mentality: great perimeter defender, some hops, great bball IQ, and good playmaking skills.

    not even going to give him credit for his recent game? when he's not raining down 3's he's running around the court like a madman grabbing much needed rebounds and putting his blinding-white hand in opposing players' faces.
