    I noticed he is also hitting his 3 pointers, which is surprising since he shoots them so flat.

    The problem with his 3 point shot is he often leans back instead of keeping his body straight. Should easily be fixable in the offseason. Im not too worried about the arch on his shot. At almost 6'10" its almost natural to shoot a little bit flat anyways.

    I dont see him being the next Ray Allen, but I see no reason why he cant shoot 35 to 38% career from beyond the arc. He's not going to be someone who looks for his 3 point shot, and will always only take them when he's wide open. As his career progresses, I see him getting most of his points inside the paint anyways.

    Seriously!
    Has there been another picture on CF that has been utilized so frequently??

    The laughing Yao has some mileage and Scola's "He Okay" may be in contention for runner up. But I've never seen a non NBA players face as often as DM on here. lol

    He is not only more athletic but also more skilled than Battier,and he is a rookie.

    Do you mean as a low post threat? Because I do not see him backing people down low. I do see him as a slasher and opportunity scorer in the paint. I think most of his 2 point shots have come on fastbreaks and put backs. I also think he will become a better spot up 3 pont shooter. But creating for himself in a set offense with the ball not much.

    Battier was cpoy. The battier you see now decided he was better off as a role player and molded his skills that way.

    I love how Parsons plays the game. Very smart and not too bad on the eyes.

    He's shooting 82% from the FT line in 11 games this month.

    3pt% remained steady at around 35-36%.
