    I think it will... hopefully our winning streak continues and our confidence builds, and that way Parson's will be confident when he does have an open jumper or a 3 and not pass it up!

    Pretty cool how a no stats guy is getting respect like this.

    I hope Chandler hits the gym hard and works on his shot this upcoming offseason.

    if he had offense, do you think we would have had him in 2nd round? he would have been #1 pick.

    And this is why we do not tank. Tanking would have given us at best a #5-6 pick. Even in a deep draft, it is a roulette.

    And even if we won the lottery, we run the risk of being a crappy team and being held hostage by the franchise player when the contract is close to expiring.

    Plenty of us saw him as nothing more than the tweener he has so far looked like. Still hoping he can become an effective option for certain matchups off the bench.

    Needs to stop fading back on his jumpers.

    It's too early to write off Marcus Morris. He's just been injured recently and hasn't hit his stride yet. On the other hand, we may very well have found our starting SF of the future in Chandler Parsons, so Morris may become expendable. If Parsons keeps improving every offseason like Lowry, we could have ourselves a near-All Star player.

    Hey, about your sig...I don't think he said "a stupid"...it's just the way they pronounce stuff in Spanish...they seem to add an "e" all the time when a word starts with a consonant. I had a friend whose parents liked the name "Steve", but obviously did not know how it is spelled, so his passport says..."Estif".

    He should actually be averaging closer to 8 or 9 points if his FT percentage wasn't 28%. That's pretty bad lol.

    Defensively no doubt he is better! Offensively his shooting touch might not be there yet but his size and skill set is better IMO..if rockets asked him to score more and ran plays for him his numbers would be better than they are..

    How is he a no stats guy? He doesn't score points but he gets rebs and steals.

    Adrien got a guaranteed contract before Parsons did. If Morey wanted him to get practice time and a proper training camp he could have signed him first.

    He would only have 2 more points this year if he shot his college ft%.

    parsons is more ready to contribute to OUR team right now, but if you put marcus in a better situation rosterwise he is the better player and one with the more upside

    I have no idea what in the world it is going to take to make Clutchfan's happy. This team could go on to win multiple titles, but if they dont play TWill or Morris in the meantime you will complain that they didnt win three because they didnt play TWill... maybe thats a little exagerated but....yeah... anyways....

    A 6'10" skilled small forward who can play defense, facilitate, get steals, hussles, and has yet to really even get it going offensively.

    I watched this guy play at Florida back in the day and you have to trust me... the kid has potential to be a big time scorer, he just plays very unselfish.

    I know you and everyone else want Morris or Terrence to play over the "un-athletic" wing players like Bud and Parsons, but I think you need to look at the brightside and celebrate the draft steal in Parsons.

    Good news for you - On 610 today Bill Worrell said that he's heard that Morris will most likely get called up from the D-League here pretty soon since Patterson and Scola havent been doing much. He could see minutes here pretty soon. Just be patient.
