Parsons is an incredibly versatile swingman, the sort of which are difficult to come by around the league. Parsons is 6″9′, and therefore capable of playing at either the small forward or power forward spot, yet he’s quick enough to guard 2 guards as well.

Parsons might not be a lockdown defender, but offensively he can help a team’s productivity skyrocket when he’s on the court. The Rockets had an offensive rating of 110.2 last season when the former Florida Gator was on the floor last season, and it’s easy to see why.

Parsons is a guy capable of doing it all offensively. He’ll average near five assists, and five boards per game, to go with points in the mid-teens from a combination of fluid 3-pointers and explosive dunks.
