    Chandler Parsons also played some power forward last year. Why isn't he listed at PF? ESPN is dumb.

    This is more reasonable. There're a few guys ahead of Parsons could be lower, but for some players below him Jimmy Butler/Deng could be above him right now for their overall game, Barnes/MKG/Hakless maybe better in the future, but not for now....so he should be in the top20.

    One hot night does not make you a better player. Batum has not gotten any better since his sophomore season and he's had the green light to do what ever he wanted. Parsons made a big jump from his rookie season and his stats are about the same as Batum's.

    I agree Leonard could be better than Parsons since he has been shackled by playing with 3 HOF's and a coach that keeps the reins on his players.

    I hope the league continues to undervalue him as much as humanly possible. I want to keep him as a lifelong Rocket without paying him ridiculous money. He has two years in the league, though. He will probably continue to climb lists like this.

    i think parsons has the most potential on this team. Harden d12 have already proved and lived up to their potential. Parsons i think can turn into a big superstar with as much promise as he showed last season. Especially in the playoffs.

    Since I am getting tired of all of the "Lebron is a SF" talk here is his playing time per position last season:

    POS Minutes
    SG 0%
    SF 29%
    PF 42%

    Playing time % is of total minutes available.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but Batum made more threes than parsons last year. He is definately a better player just by his defense alone. You must not watch Portland play very much, but if he got the same shots in our offense he would be way better.
