EXPECTATIONS

My opinion on this is interesting:

More from Grizzlies News

I’m not expecting breakout Parsons following the All-Star break. The fanbase has put immense pressure on the new guy to “prove himself.” But an injury as a result of a failure to heal – that’s inexcusable.

I expect Parsons continued to struggle until the game 75 threshold, followed by a late-season breakout game.

The Grizzlies, finally competing with a completely healthy Chandler Parsons, may just hit their stride a mere WEEK before the playoffs.

Better late than never, right?
