26. Chandler Parsons, 2011 NBA Draft, No. 38 overall, Houston Rockets

Parsons athleticism and length made it easy for him to be an impact player right away as he earned NBA All-Rookie Second Team honors.

With this past season being just his fourth in the NBA, Parsons is still improving and working on becoming one of the great players in the game, but he has shown that he can help a team in more ways than one. Parsons can score on all three levels while also producing at the defensive end.

This past season playing for the Dallas Mavericks, Parsons suffered a knee injury in the first round of the playoffs that required surgery. He will have a larger role next season as Dallas looks to get back to the top of the Western Conference. So far, Parsons has averaged 14.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for his career.
