I may be nitpicking here, but I don't think he is a ball stopper. He may have possession a lot, and end up shooting it, but he does keep the ball moving, even if it is in his hands. It isn't like a guy who as soon as he touches the ball he shoots it, or holds it for 10 seconds standing around so the defense gets set, sends over a double team, and boxes out for the board.

Agreed, in reality he's no more of a ball stopper than green or the Morris twins. The ball is in his hands more, but that's because he's the pg and he's often sharing the backcourt with green, who we don't want doing too much dribbling

The Mavs can consider that a fluke. If it were the beginning of a trend for their $46 million man, Parsons wouldn’t be the only one who felt sick.

Mismatch of the game: Miami small forward Luol Deng scored 30 points on 13-of-18 shooting. Mavs small forward Chandler Parsons scored four points on 1-of-9 shooting. Guess which guy got the much bigger contract in free agency this summer?
