The Chandler Parsons experience has been disappointing, and that might be putting it nicely. As a huge career-long supporter of Parsons, it’s a shame to not see him produce on the Memphis Grizzlies.
The fit was absolutely there. For years, the Grizzlies needed a playmaking wing that could shoot the lights out from deep and score close to 20 points each night. He was supposed to be the guy that extended the Grizzlies’ “dark horse contender” window with the “Core 4.” In addition, the hope was to move forward with the trio of Parsons, Gasol and Conley.
It never happened, and it’s looking extremely unlikely that the vision will ever come to fruition.
