So does the wide variety of things that might happen when Parsons gets the ball.

I agree ...I think this years offense is going to run so much better with Nelson than it did with Calderon ...With Calderon I saw a lot of times where they would just leave him wide open . My theory with that was teams felt they could play off Calderon because they would have time to recover and contest his shot especially considering he wasn't a threat to drive and if you contested his shot then he probably would have just passed it away .
Nelson on the other hand will be a threat to drive while also a threat to shoot the outside shot so the team will have to guard to him by staying with him ..I also expect Nelson to at least shoot .400+ 3P% and I wouldn't doubt that he gets closer to .420-450 3P%
