Problem with Parsons is he doesn't do anything spectacularly well. He's an average to below average rebounder. About an average defender when healthy, showed some ability to dial in the intensity on that end pre-injury, in fairness. Pretty average shooter. A bit of a ball stopper. His signature move is the pump fake/ball fake. His best skill is creating off of this combination. Also crafty finisher with either hand and good passer going to the hoop. If he could bump his 3pt shooting to around 40% consistently it'd be a better weapon. He also isn't quite as versatile defensively as maybe we'd hoped. Didn't take well to PF minutes last season.

Khris Middleton(shooting 47% from 3) has a signature NBA skill and more versatile than Parsons defensively just got a 5yr-70m deal from the Bucks. And hes also a flawed player.Think his deal starts at 12+ this season. Anything much more than that I think MBT maybe should say "Adios" to Parsons this summer(unless of course he opts in)Last contract was a generous overpay anyway.
