Said it last year and I'll say it again. Ball don't lie...
Based on all of last season. Look at Thriller's post.Based on what, good sir?
parson is more valuable to more teams because of his versatility. overall hayward is better. but nba is changing. it's better to be good at 1 thing than be average at everything.
How much did Charlotte offer Parsons?
You can say that you think Parsons is better but to say that he is more valued by NBA teams is stupid, imo.
Hayward was offered more money and it was matched.
Parsons was offered less and allowed to walk.
Right or wrong more teams obvi see Hayward as more valuable.
While browsing through some overall NBA stats today I came across this:
View attachment 3866
Hayward and Parsons are putting up practically identical shooting/scoring stats through 4 games. Parsons is still a better shooter %-wise, but Hayward is a much better rebounder and passer.
I just don't get how Hayward's ability to create is just thrown aside. It really helps the team for someone of his size and position to be able to create for his teammates.
Also about 65% of Parsons FG's were assisted last season, only 50% of Hayward's so there's that as well.
I still think this thread is crap.
Gordon is God. Chandler is just a parson.Parsons could probably create at least a bit if he were ever on a bad enough team to need him to do that. Of course, Hayward's percentages would likely be much better on a team where all he did was hit spot up threes. (Hint: People who like one better than the other are delusional. Same player.)
