Print[Nice report from a FanPoster. Parsons needs to learn plenty, obviously, but despite the disappointing returns, I think he's got a bright future. -- Tom]
So Houston's second round pick in the 2011 draft, Chandler Parsons, is coming back to the USA after a 2 month stint in Cholet Basketball, runner-up of the last French Championship. Even if I'm French, I usually don't follow Pro A Championship a lot but this year, with stars such as Tony Parker and Nicolas Batum and no NBA, I watch it a lot more. Being a Rockets fan, I paid particular attention on Chandler Parsons.
So Chandler was brought with a medical joker contract, which is a short contract used to replace an injured player. His first contract was ending the 4th Octobre, covering the Euroligue's Qualifying Round. He signed a new one wich was finishing on October 31st, covering Pro A's first 4 games. Yesterday, it was announced that Chandler won't signed a prolongation and will return in the United States to prepare for the NBA Season. The main reason for that is that both Chandler Parsons and Cholet's coach believed the NBA season will start soon and they doesn't want Chandler to have to go back to the US, using his NBA return clause, without a warning, in the middle of a game preparation.
So now, on Chandler Parson's stint on Cholet :
Chandler's stint started with a huge disappointment, as Cholet was eliminated in the very first round of the Euroligue Qualifiers against Zagreb (70-77). Parsons was particulary criticized for his poor game : 2pts, 5Reb and 2Ast for an evalution of 5 in 16 minutes.
After this game, Chandler didn't play in the Pro A first game : In France, you can only have 5 non-French player in one match, Cholet having six non-French players, thay had to benched one, they choosed Parsons.
So the former Gators started his season against Nanterre, in a 90-82 win, scoring 7pts at 2-7, 3Reb, 5Ast and 3Stls in 23 minutes for an evaluation of 11.
His third game was at Chalon/Saone, he played his best game as a Cholet Player, scoring 14pts (5-9), 2Ast, 1Stl and collecting 11 boards in 25 minutes, for a 24 evaluation, Cholet won 79-71.
His last game as a Cholet player was in a 70-79 loss against Tony Parker's ASVEL, Chandler scored 9pts (4-7), 4Reb, 2Ast and 3Stls.
In his 3 Pro A's game as a Cholet player, Chandler Parsons averaged 10pts (.478 FG%, .400 %3pts, .600 FT%), 6Reb, 4Ast, 2,3Stls, 0,3Blcks and 1,7TO for an average evaluation of 15,7 which are pretty good numbers for the Pro A, he ranks second in the Steals per game Category, 18th in assists per game 15th in Rebond per game and 14th in the average evaluation.
On the scouting report, you can say that Chandler Parsons is a pretty agressive player, attracting a lot of fouls, if he's not a premiere scorer, he's an all-around player that can produce in both end of the floor, making a little of everything, but don't get too high on the guy : It's only the Pro A, he still has a long way to go to become a good NBA Player.
No cursing in title. No pirated material, such as links to online game streams. Do not cut/paste entire sections of content from other websites. Thanks.

Cool
thanks for the article. And yea I think the NBADL is in Parsons near term future.
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun
Maybe I'm an idiot
OK, I definitely am, but I have a question. What is an evaluation? As in Parsons had an evaluation of X.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
Was too far to huck a beer at a Stro’s player as per bone’s request. Jess (girlfriend) said I was too far, I said challenge accepted, a security guard said guess again.-BD34
They take all of the positive stats (points, assts, fouls received, stls and blks) and add them up and then they subtract the negative stats (missed shots, turnovers, fouls committed and blocks against). It’s kind of a rudimentary way to measure efficiency. I think that everything over 15 is considered good.

Awesome
Thanks man. I had never heard of it before. Glad someone here is up-to-date on this stuff.

Actually it's efficiency
Seemed logical to me that the word was the same in French and English, as it’s basicaly the exact same word in every other context but here the guy who translated it decided it was to simple ><
Haha
I see. So I’m not a complete fool. In this scenario, at least.

First of all, thanks for the main page
That’s pretty cool, wasn’t expecting it.
But I have a question, maybe I misunderstood it but when I read “despite the disappointing returns”, it seems like I said Parson had a bad stint or that’s not what I’m saying.
If he wasn’t LeBron or Kobe, he showed pretty encouraging stuffs, for example he had better stats than established NBA Forward Nicolas Batum, even if Batum his having a bad streak (18 years old Batum was having better stats than the actual one), that’s pretty good
I don't know
Maybe Tom was expecting more from him. Seems like he played all right. He seems to be racking up assists and rebounds, and the shooting percentage is pretty good (especially from 3, though it’s the Euro line).
I definitely see Parsons spending at least some of the year with RGV, and I’m sure we’ll all be keeping an eye on him.

Thanks for the update
Glad we can get some sense of our recent draft picks. Similarly to the comments above, I got lost in all the evaluation numerics but its cool to see basketball play analyzed from a different perspective. I don’t know how competative french pro A ball is but seems like a reasonable start for a second round pick in his first international game experience. Thanks again for the post.

thanks for the post
nice to hear about him to be honest i know nothing of him. got a couple of questions for you tho. do u think he would have played much better as in kept his stats of the last game as an average had he played for longer and settled in more? who do u support in the french league ? and whats the website ud use for european basketball? im trying to get into it but most sites dont really have much news
I think he would have kept his last game's stats
Or even have better ones, he seems to fit better in the team each game, European Basketball his known to be much more tactic than the NBA/NCAA and it his always hard on the first week for American players, especially big men, they need to learn a lot of stuff.
In the French League, being a Parisian, I support Paris’ club.
For the website, I take the stats in the French Pro A and the Euroligue websites, for the game reports and gametalks, I go in French-speaking website so I don’t think that will interest you, sorry ^^
To watch the matches, you have most of games streams in LSHunter
