Chandler Parsons - MEM - F

Is he even worth holding onto in dynasty format? Paper mâché knees.

Lmaooooo

I was giving him till the end of this week to figure it out, but he seems to have picked up right where he left off. Fizdale was recently on record as saying they still weren't gonna "unleash" him until the playoffs. Can't wait for a new week so I can drop this deadweight.

Think he'll improve this season or be limited until playoffs?

Will he turn it around post All star break?

Most positive game from him so far.

14 teams 9 cat h2h: Parsons (UP) Korver (Down)

is Parsons worth owning in 14 H2H with Punt Assists? Im leaning towards NO

Rest from what? His big 40-10-10 game?

i owned him for about 2 weeks when he first came back from the injury. it was pretty brutal as at that time he was only playing like 12 minutes and then would miss a game periodically for rest. when i look at his projections below on BBM it shows him only rank 173 overall (in my punt TO and FT build), and only getting 24 mi per game. if he cant get 25 plus minutes hes not worth owning. i feel like it might next year before we see him back to full strength.

Are we sure it's just the minutes holding him back now? He's so depressing to own at the moment. Is there any chance he regains the kind of form he had at the end of last season?

Drop Parsons for Rivers? Just don't see this guy making any impact for fantasy this year.

We have him projected to play 82% of the remaining games due to rest games and injury history.

Is his current games played projection too low?

He's also on the Court to start the 2nd half after playing 15 mins in the 1st half. Things are finally trending up!

That's three good starts in a row. It's just the minutes holding him back now

Finally! Some signs of life. I'm coming second in my 12 team league and I've had him from the start on my bench. Even a really solid last quarter of the regular would make me happy.

He's looked good the last 2 games. There is some hope yet it seems. MEM are letting him come along slowly, which is good long term.

Got my hopes too high...he's done for the night.

15min at half. Are we starting to see the gradual move forward in his progress?

Yes. Parsons is expected to take his time getting his minutes ramped up. He'll also be sitting out back-to-backs for the next month or two. If it's going to take him another two months to get off of a b2b restriction, there's simply too much risk in holding him in standard leagues. Unless you're confident he'll come back healthy and are dominating your league, I'd dump Parsons for a good waiver piece.

Time to cut bait and move on?

More likely to realize Top 75 ROS value, Parsons (up) or Ben Simmons (down)?

Based on his recovery history last year, it should take about 1.5 months until his minutes normalize to high 20's-low 30's.

This dude is flat out broken. Surely he needs his projections altered

Parsons (up) or A. Gordon (down)?

I feel like we have to drop the projos here. The next month is likely to be pretty ugly.

Up for Chandler Parsons, Down for Reggie Jackson. (Punting AST)

xer09 -- I'd stick with Parsons.

Drop Chandler Parson for Marvin Williams?

guy Im playing this week in 20 team will have a choice when CP3 comes back. He switched him out for Parsons on the IR will have to drop someone. His worst player is Snell and he had 6 threes tonight. Will be interesting to see what he does. Also has Favors in his other IR spot.

Vote (UP) if you think Parsons is shit and not serviceable this season.

Parsons (UP) or Brogdon (DOWN)? Please help BBM

can anyone comment how he looked today?

up parsons down markief morris

Didn't realize all we needed was for somebody to post asking for an update and woj would deliver. Cutting Douglas certainly makes Grizzlies players returning seem imminent

Woj says that he may (as well as Conley) return this weekend.

Still nothing. I'd take an update with bad news at this point just to drop him.

I expect an update tomorrow, but this week is the end of the initial timetable they released.

Really playing this week?

Lol wow, poor guy

One more to put this story to rest for good https://mobile.twitter.com/Sportando/status/805937482093260800

Direct from Parsons https://twitter.com/ChandlerParsons/status/805935155667943424

They have now put up a revised article http://www.sportando.com/en/usa/nba/219451/chandler-parsons-may-have-another-knee-surgery.html

Yup, seems wrong. Hope he was dropped in my league!

Sportando has deleted the report

There are a ton of very credible sources saying the rumor isn't true

They did and they also had the info first on Juancho coming over this season. But, it just doesn't seem accurate

Spanish site? I'm pretty sure they had the inside track on Gasol's injury last year...

It really doesn't appear the Parsons rumors are true. Some faulty reporting

https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/805923209166012416 ugh

Plot twist! https://twitter.com/ChrisVernonShow/status/805919632813133824

Side note. I have a punt fg% team with Paul George, rubio, Lin, parsons, Marvin williams, Deangelo Russell. Things couldn't have started worse the team has no chance to compete

It's one of the most famous sites for European basketball with lots of information. Can't tell on the validity of this specific information though.

Never heard of that site and its source seems to be a budding sport journalist. Not exactly Woj. Boy it would make dropping him an easier decision though...

I'd like another source before we rule him out completely. Seems very odd but the Grizzlies are not exactly forthcoming with their injuries and severity

How reliable is that site though?

This was not a good signing by the Grizzlies. Have to think they were failed by their medical team in this one

Done for the year, per Spotando

If you have held this long you might as well wait to see what happens with him. He should be back in the next couple weeks. Why hold all year and drop right before he comes back?

I just...just feel sad.. Easy drop now right?

Minutes are now at 30 rather than his initial 33.

woah, I just noticed his projections were slashed bigtime, almost 50 spots in Rank. What's the reason for that?

ferris, health is a real factor. sure, he strung some good games together but it took him the whole season last year to get there and then he got injured again. even if he hits that peak this year, i'd bet his overall value lands closer to where it's been the past 2 years, so i think the recent slashes in proj are warranted

My comment was directed to farmhill

Welllll...Otto is 15th in 9 cat this season. I think parsons will probably put up good value when hes eventually healthy but he's a massive risk and took a long time to get going last year.

What are you talking about? Parsons was top 25 in the 2nd half of last year, albeit with missed games.

Assuming Parsons comes back healthy, for rest of fantasy season Parsons (up), Otto (down).

when are we going to stop pretending that it's 2012? if parsons even plays this year, why do we think he will be any better than last year? you have him up in every single cat besides fg when he hasn't looked good in years. slash that proj

I was about to drop him to open a streaming spot but now you've gotta think that his usage rate with Conley out goes up a bit and he might hit those figures or exceed them if he's constantly got the ball in his hand. Question is obviously how many minutes he will get - but if you can afford a stash and there aren't other 25 minute players out there, he might be worth a go.

He still doesn't have a return date, I can't take on dead weight for weeks on end. Again, I'm just wondering if the projections are something that still seem realistic. It's Matt Barnes I would drop.

@tylerbraun - if you're referring to Matt Barnes, drop right now and grab Parsons. If it's Harrison Barnes, I'd hold onto Harry B.

Hey BM guys, the current projection for him makes him look like a no brainer pick up, even though his first slew of games were awful (before the new injury). Is he a universal pick up? I could conceivably drop Barnes for him, but his projections seem really optimistic based on the early returns.

Must-own in a 12-team league? Just got dropped in my league and thinking of dropping Monroe for him.

at least MEM has a good history of treating and providing info on injuries...

disappointed but I had to drop Parsons.. Not going to make playoffs at this rate with all the GTD/injured players on my team. His spot is now a streaming spot for me ..

It's important to know that this has nothing to do with the surgery on his knee. It is the opposite knee.

getting torpedoed by this guy is an annual occurrence for me, just hoping to make my league's playoffs at this point

Is it time to consider that it's just not going to happen for him? Also holding on and it's been painful. Being eased into the rotation with minute rest is different that getting reevaluated two weeks from now.

hold tight on him? it's a 10 team, 8 category, 10 starting spots, 2 bench, weekly subbing roto format league.

I'm holding both Parsons and Harris in a 12-team league with one IR spot. Is it time to bite the bullet and drop one? Or do they both hold enough upside for me to remain undermanned for the next 2-3 weeks? Punting ft%, if it helps.

I've been offered to get Parsons for giving either Markeiff Morris or Aaron Gordon. Worth the trade for Parsons value? And if so who do I trade? H2h 9cat, 14 team, I'm punting fg and blocks

Knee were sore, he didn't start the second half and was on the bench with ice on them. It's going to be rough for at least 2-3 more weeks i reckon, very similar to how last season started

Ive been offered Adams for my Parsons. Ive held onto him this long and havent reaped any benefits yet. Vote up if I should take it.

So what happen to him in tonights game..? 14 mins only? What happen to the 20 min limit?

The Grizzlies haven't offered many specifics to this point, and with a new head coach, there is more ambiguity on how injuries will be handled. We don't have a history on how Fizdale handles things. I would expect Parsons to continue having his minutes managed, and next week, he'll probably sit out one of the back-to-back games. I would feel pretty good that Parsons is already playing this early in the season and just hope he gets up to a full slate of minutes by the start of December with little restrictions thereafter.

Is he going to rest on back to back sets this year? And do you know how long the minutes restication planing to be?

I mentioned I will not play Parsons this week.. but that was before Nance and Tyson were both Out. H2H 9CAT. Would you take the gamble and play Parsons?

Other than going 0/8 did Parsons look OK? Should I start him the rest of the week?

As a parson owner, I am not going to play him the coming week. Probably, will put him in my H2H daily line-ups after he shows me one good game. Having both Favors and Parsons is painful and really testing my patience lol.

Patience my friends. Parsons will reward you handsomely.

Weekly 9CAT 6man league with 12 starters, 4 bench players and an IR. I currently have Jrue on the IR and have punted FG, BLK, REB and TO - I'm running out of patience as I feel like I need to shore up my steals with either Covington (recently dropped) or Marcus Smart. Would you prefer either of those, or have I got some potential upside with Parsons returning? I'm worried that in the weekly league he will miss random games, minutes restrictions etc. I'm currently needing some help in AST and STL, got the other 3 cats locked away.

Are we ever going to see this man play?

That's unfortunate.. thanks!!

Here is the tweet https://twitter.com/MyMikeCheck/status/791405728170905601 Says Fizdale put a loose two week timetable on return. I think they'll be more cautious than aggressive

Is there any particular reason his projected return date has jumped out to 12 Nov? Most reports seem to indicate he will be back late this week or early next week.

I'm a little concerned about parsons. Probably won't be ready to start the season. He came on towards the end of last year, but it took him awhile to get back his form from the surgery. Eventually he's going to have one these surgieres and just not regain that form back. Has anybody seen any positive reports?
