This is either the easiest or hardest Memphis Grizzlies player season preview to write; perhaps both at once. In the now-fabled Summer of ’16, free agent Chandler Parsons was lavished with a four-year/$94.4 million contract by a Grizzlies Front Office desperate for shooting and wing depth.
Halfway through said deal, the results have been dismal. Parsons has appeared in just 70 games over two seasons in Memphis, earning a whopping $674,000 per outing. When healthy, he has been a shell of his former self, and the very legitimate question lingers as to whether he will ever be the same again.
