I like Parsons way too much we will probably trade him on draft day. Morris will be converted to play the 3 and be okay. But I really would like us to keep Parsons even if he comes off the bench, Like his passion and full time effort.
If Morris is not playing, obviously the guy isn't ready. I feel we made a huge mistake passing on Leonard & Faried. I was furious when we got Morris but who knows, he hasn't shown himself yet.
The poll should be between Budinger and Parsons. At this point, Morris is an afterthought. Bud's defense is improving considerably and his offense is light years ahead of either Parsons or Morris. Parsons seems to have the higher basketball IQ and is more aggressive on both ends of the floor. Morris is this year's Terrence Williams -- the perceived "savior" now but the goat by next season. He is an undersized PF with no clue as to how to play SF at the pro level.
Im good with either, I think we are set up pretty well for the future at SF. I still think Morris has more potential but I sometimes forgot that Parsons WAS the SEC POY and was a great scorer in college!
Easily one of the most ignorant and stupid posts i've seen lately, and this is clutchfans for god sake! How can someone be an "after thought" in the middle of their ROOKIE season?? "No clue as how to play SF at this level" first of all, thats not a sentence. Secondly, do you watch the practices? We haven't seen nearly enough of him in games to say if he can or can't play SF at this level. Bud is a good bench scorer, and that is all he'll ever be. His job is to come off the bench and start firing shots up. He'll never be a starter on a playoff team.
Parsons came into the league as a three, Morris didn't. Although Morris had played three before he was primarily a post player. Parsons brought versatility on both ends something we needed & didn't get from Bud or T-Will. Just as Parsons has gotten better as the weeks progressed, Morris will as well. Your basing your whole argument of of what you have seen & we haven't seen anything from Morris (outside of d-league pt) yet to equally compare the two, you said it yourself.
Well, well, Mr. Grammarian. Please make sure your own house is in order before you cast aspersions. Note that the term is "for God's sake." Also, "Clutchfans" deserves capitalization. Moving right along, your next mistake is a pronoun error -- "his" rookie season rather than "their." Where is your apostrophe in "thats?" Next, your use of "if" is incorrect -- you should have written "say whether he can." Shall I continue? Please learn English before playing critic. Thanks.
Wow. For someone who knows grammar do well you would think your posts would be readable! I bet you used the crap out of google to try to find all these mistakes. Which you reached pretty far for! At Least I didn't sound like a cave man! You failed to address the idiotic remarks you made about basketball, that is what we are talking about right!?
If both are going to be as good as you make them out to be, why not keep both and put them both at there at the same time. Technically that would make Parsons a 2 and Morris a 3. Parsons already defends 2's and 3's, and he could use his size to easily shoot over other SG. Morris at the 3, would also have a size advantage. You would be at a dis-advantage against teams with great speed, but the SG's would that type of speed to get around Parson's length would be an issue no matter what. That is where Camby/Dalembert/"Fill in blank for post help defender", has to be present anyways comes into play.
Why on earth would anyone pick Morris here? Because he was drafted higher and makes more money? Oh yea, I forgot about his potential. Definitely Morris.
For some reason I always have a hard time finding the family guy clip of Tom Tucker saying, "Good contribution Diane." I'll wait to see how Morris develops since we really are talking future here. It's unfair to judge him at this point in a training camp-less shortened season. While Parsons has been the breath of fresh air this season, its harder for Morris to transition to a 3 without consistent NBA playing time. Hopefully he continues to see time on the court like the last couple of games.
I think it is time to move Macus back to Power Forward. He's 6'8", so he isn't completely undersized for the power forward position; I'm meaning he played power forward in college. Parson does everything that is needed of a SF, he just needs to continue working on his offense, but it seems like it is workable. Parson has won the job this year, hands down. Displacing Chase Budinger who was penciled in as a up an coming budding player (no pun intended). And completely pushing aside Marcus, the heralded 1st round pick. Scola isn't getting any younger. Hill is gone. That leaves the door wide open so that Marcus can get minutes at the 4 spot. Patterson vs. Marcus, to be settled in practice over the next two seasons!!!
Bud's defense still sucks, and his offense isn't light years ahead of the other guys. He also hasn't developed at all in 6 years. He has a decent 3 point shot and that's it. He can't create of the dribble and can't create for others. Parsons has better handles and passes better. Morris has a better post game and mid range game. Bud is a service backup and that's it. At this point I rather have Novak over Bud.
About the only metric for comparison at this point is playing time. And that is hands down Parsons. Don't forget that Moteijunas will be here next year, and will probably be soaking up minutes at SF, PF and occasionally center positions. Or if he gains 20 pounds (as hoped) at the PF and center positions. So Dally 7'0". Moteijunas 7'0" and Parsons 6'9". Most teams would find that lineup match up hell.
