I think it amusing how Parsons gets thrown under the bus around here, while Matthews seems to have carte blanche to consistently *kill* our offense on a nightly basis. I get it. He's got a great attitude and plays good, but not spectacular D (though his rebounding isn't impressive). However, his inability to hit the open 3 (his only offensive skill, especially now that he can't really post-up), really cripples our offense. The man has no lift and limps running the floor. That contract really is going to look bad as I don't see him changing much in the future.

CP, however, looks to be recovering well. He is not, and will never be, a number one option. But he can be Hayward-esque. A 20/5/5 guy and number 2 option on a contending team. He just needs the ball in his hands. He's a creator...not a spot-up shooter. It's tough in RC's system because Deron, and JJB especially, do so much ball-pounding.
