Don’t forget about Chandler Parsons.

The Memphis Grizzlies signed forward Chandler Parsons to a four-year deal worth $95 million. Unfortunately, Parsons has only appeared in six games for the Grizzlies. Through those six games, he is averaging 7.7 points and 3.0 rebounds per contest.

He is shooting just 39.1 percent from the floor and 23.8 percent from the three-point line.

In his season debut on Nov. 6, he shot 0-for-8 from the floor and 0-for-4 from three. On restricted minutes, Parsons still seemed unable to go on a bad knee. He has been listed as out for all games currently with a left knee bone bruise. As of Dec. 2, he was listed as out for 7-10 days.

His return seems almost imminent, which bodes well for the Grizzlies’ offense. The sixth-year forward is averaging 14.2 points, five rebounds, and three assists per game through his career. Parsons is a sharpshooter from behind the three-point line.

He shot a career-high 41.4 percent from the three-point line last season.

The Grizzlies hope his contribution can up the ante for them on the offensive end of the floor. So long as he can get back on the floor in a timely manner.
