Last season, Chandler Parsons played like complete sewer juice, shooting 34% from the field and generally not living up to his outsized contract even a little bit. This season, his shooting is roughly in line with career norms, and while he’s still not really earning his 23 million dollars (HOLY BALLS BATMAN), he’s not unplayable and one could even argue that he is capable of making real on-court contributions. Of course, the extent of his ability to make real on-court contributions is obscured by the fact that the Grizzlies have a very…creatively assembled…roster right now.
The one thing I don’t get is why Parsons threw away his natural good looks in order to adopt a shaved-ish haircut and unruly beard. When he was rocking that swoopy hair-to-the-side cut, I have no doubt that he would have been able to score with any woman in the universe. You line all 3.8 billion women up (plus however many alien women there are; do aliens have genders?), and none would be able resist his romantic overtures. Now he looks like a bro. And not the good kind of bro either. The asshole kind of bro.
I guess the new haircut is meant to get attention, and he succeeded.
I hope the best..
never give up!
