    GOOD POINT AND GREAT POST! I thought Marcus Morris was ready and i'm still hyped about him wish he could play the 3 but Parsons is better at that position now. Parsons might blow up and have a string of 20 point games.

    If he develops a more consistent shot and starts creating shots for other people. I could see him develop into a player like hedo trougklu with more athleticism.

    And a better shot, and more skills overall.

    He is WAY better than Ariza, only on defense are they comparible....Ariza can't dribble the ball, he is putrid on offense.

    I've been a fan since the draft, but i haven't seen him make a move consistently with a defender on him. Im not sure he can ever really develop that because he doesn't have anything to counter a tight defense consistently. I'm not even talking about a dream shake or domination, just moves where he can consistently score on the defense.

    He shoots too slow to score consistently on the perimeter.

    Haven't seen much of a post game from him and i don't think he'll ever be great there. He'll be better if he gains strength/size, but that'll take away from his perimeter play.

    I think he's just going to have to do a little of everything well and nothing great. He'll make a name for himself as a role player, maybe a great one, but not a great player/all-star.

    I'm pretty sure he has made like 2 jumpers as a Rocket... :grin:

    8/31 from three...
    2/7 from the free throw line...

    Right now he is making Ariza look like Larry legend as far as shooting is concerned...

    Trevor Ariza can't dribble. One of Parson's skills coming out of college was his ballhandling, though we haven't seen much of that yet.

    That's kinda exaggerating, Ariza is shooting 27% (vs 26%) from 3.
