No. 5: Chandler Parsons is finding his shot

It seems like a week ago, when people (not me though, proof) were complaining about Chandler Parsons. He wasn’t progressing, making shots or playing enough. Outside of basketball, he hung out with a Kardashian.

Well, Grizzlies fans, it’s been less than a week, and Chandler Parsons is finding his rhythm and shot.

While he’s still on a 15-minute restriction, Parsons is making the most of it.

In the last game against the Warriors, he scored ten points on 2-for-4 shooting from downtown. Against Utah, he delivered another solid 15 minutes of fame, tallying nine points on 2-for-3 shooting from beyond the arc. More importantly, he hit his first three-pointers in FedEx Forum.

He’s not at the level expected just yet, but this is a good sign. He’s using these limited minutes to gain confidence on his shot and to find his place in the offense.

Hopefully, we’ll see a fully unleashed Chandler Parsons soon.
