Nicolas Batum or Chandler Parsons: Who's Better?????

[vybzinc]

Who you think won the battle between the two? Yeah I know Parsons fukked up guarding Lillard, but let us not judge him harshly for that. We just so happen to have a retard of a coach.

But I wanna know, who you think is the better player based on what you saw individually on skills and talent.

Some info:

From stature to stat sheets, they are near carbon copies. Batum stands 6-foot-8 and is listed at 220 pounds; Parsons is 6-9 and listed at 227 pounds. This season, Batum averaged 13.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, while shooting 47 percent from the field, including 36 percent from three-point range. He made 145 threes and played roughly 36 minutes per game. Two times zones away, Parsons averaged a few more points (16.6), a couple less rebounds (5.5) and one fewer assist (4.0), and shot about the same (48 percent from the field, 37 percent from three-point range). He made 130 threes and played 38 minutes a night.

Batum slightly because of better handles and defender

I like Batum. The man is criminally underrated. Not only can you run the offense through him for a significant period of time, but he plays extremely well within a team concept as well.

Batum has shytty ass handles.


Parsons is a better 3pt shooter and Batum a better passer. Parsons is a better at attacking the rim and getting to the line; Batum is a better defender.

Parsons just has more offensive opportunities. He basically has the green light whereas batum has to fall back cuz of two superstars and a chucker in Mathews. Batum is primarily the facilitator for Portland so he doesn't have the green light on offense like chandler does.

Maybe chandler has better handles but I seen him get stripped in transition to often. Batum seems to be more responsible with his ball handling.

Lies, everyone has a green light in Portland.

Batum is barely 4th on Portland in shot attempts and he leads them in minutes plays.'he played almonds a quarter more than mo Williams but doesn't even average one shyt attempt more than Mo. Any dan can see that he falls back in shooting/scoring to be a facilitator. I dont see what u arguing.

 

[MikelArteta]

id say batum because of defense

both are good players

That's due to his lack of aggressiveness.

Who the fukk said that? Stop putting words in my mouth. I said that he isn't aggressive enough. He doesn't look for his shot when at times he really should.
