That's what I mean by Parsons not fitting RC system. RC needs catch and shoot small forward but Parsons isn't the type. The time Rondo spent in Dallas last season showed that. How many ball dominant players actually fare well in RC system?
Before this season begun I had high hopes that D-Will and Parsons will be handling the ball a lot. However this isn't how Mavs go by. I think Parsons would fare a lot better in a system that Bulls run - at least the games I've seen.
I don't think anyone has problems with his salary also. It is just the next thing to pick about him. People are having problems with his attitude. If he was hustling in every play and defending well, people would nag less about his poor shooting. Matthews didn't get much hate when he was shooting poorly because he was giving his all on defense.
Problem I have with Parsons, is that I saw him performing really well defensively last season. But all these moments were in 4th quarter. He gives his all 'when it matters most' and this season he doesn't even get to play during those times.
