You know not a bad comparison... except Chambers played Power Forward. And of course I think the book is still out on Chandler's outside shot while Tom was a skilled marksman shooting the ball from the outside. Both same body types and both athletic. Tom was a little bigger I think but not much. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UDyBSTQDwH8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_GFsFGlbiBg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Since you mentioned Tom Chambers I thought a video would be in order.
so, in summary, he's good when he is confident and not good when things are going bad?? so basically he is like 99.9% of the entire population? lol
Good to see another Gator fan! Good post too, although i personally don't think his mental makeup is bad..sure he will have some shooting streaks but everyone does... Glad your now a Rocket fan..hopefully next gator we will get will be Bradley Beal!
I think Tom was about 6'10" too. He played more outside than inside (6'2" guard in high school with a 7-8" growth spurt so he had handles) and attacked with reckless abandon. I agree about the shooting, but Parsons seems to have improved in that area a bit already. That dunk on Mark Jackson, who must have been thinking, "Momma, there goes that man!" as he got dunked on, was exactly what I was thinking about in the comparison.
might be the best comparison so far. yep...we would all be wetting our pants if Eddie Griffin was doing this in game 8...but a 2nd rounder...not so much.
Y'know, we might be better off with Parsons not shooting anything but wide open shots. He's a good slasher and he brings a lot to the team otherwise.

Thanks for cursing chandler parsons. IT wasnt a great team to begin with..and now u added this curse to take out his confidence and show his weaknesses. thanks alligator
