Chandler Parsons is getting better (Yes, I said it, Grizzly fans)

Tonight was a positive for Chandler Parsons

Parsons played 25 minutes, the most he’s played all season. He also delivered a solid performance.

He finished the night with 12 points, one assists, and three rebounds.

Though his shot is off, he’s playing physical basketball and getting to the rim. He was beating players off the dribble and moving well off the ball. His defense still continues to impress as well. Grizzly fans have to realize Parsons is a complete basketball player.

Early in the game, he threw down a vicious dunk. Yes, a Chandler Parsons dunk!

I’ll keep saying this, if Parsons can get healthy enough to take the scoring load off Mike Conley and Marc Gasol, the Grizzlies can make a run into the Western Conference Finals.
