Player preview: Chandler Parsons + Top 10 plays of his career mixtape

This offseason, the Memphis Grizzlies added plenty of young talent. They added more youthful athleticism and shooting through Wade Baldwin IV, James Ennis and Troy Daniels. They, also, have a plethora of young big men in Deyonta Davis, JaMychal Green and Jarell Martin. But the name that everyone is talking about is Chandler Parsons, the missing piece of the Grizzlies’ championship puzzle.

Parsons’ path to the Grizzlies

After being named the 2011 SEC Player of the Year, the first ever Florida Gator to have that honor, Parsons was drafted by the Houston Rockets. In his time with the Rockets, Parsons was always just a role player behind James Harden and Dwight Howard.
