Last year Parsons was 10th in the NBA in 3pt%(41.4%). Batum was 94th(34.8%). I'll like some things Batum brings if he ends up here but I don't expect him to be a better shooter than Parsons. Parsons is better for their career's also.

Under the Mavs system I bet he could surpass Parsons at 3pt shooting. The guy holds the ball like a point guard. I'll give him some slack on his stats this past season since playing in Charlotte was completely different tempo. Than playing in Portland since he started. I can see Carlisle using him as a point forward while having Anderson in there making it potential to be an active team.
