    I'm usually hesitant to agree with ESPN punditry and list making in general but they probably have this right.

    He's 5th, or no worse than 7th, depending on how impressed or unimpressed you are with Klay Thompson's second-year development, or whether or not you feel Iman Shumpert would be able to make the customary second year leap after he returns from his ACL injury.

    Top ten, in my opinion. Not that we had the pick to get Chandler had he been there. Any time someone hammers Morey about something, you can answer, "Chandler Parsons."

    He fills a stat sheet with hustle plays that other players just don't make. He's a speed player, which fits with this team, an additional shot-blocker and rebounds at a nice clip. His ppg are more efficient than Chandler's and a busy defender. I just like his game, but please don't take this as some anti-Parsons rant. In addition to his numbers, I think Chandler's intangibles and chemistry with the rest of the team have an high unknown value.

    That being said, Morris+Faried might be better than Chandler+Morris and that's what really made me say this.

    Parsons/Faried Win/Win.

    Depends on team really. If you have a scoring and a good backcourt you go with Parsons. If you need someone to run the offense well and be a guy who can create his own shot you go with Walker.

    Parsons=a glue guy who puts you over the top
    Kemba=a leader and scorer who will never quite be superstar
