In his senior year, he averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds in the NCAA secondary league. Even with a brilliant performance, he failed to impress an NBA team's attention, and finally succumbed to reality and chose an insurance job.
For the Parsons family, basketball is always an inevitable regret and obsession.After Tang and Gary passed professional basketball players one after another, Gary's four sons became the hope of the family.
But the day was unsuccessful. The eldest son Kerry Parsons and the second son Chad Parsons prefer baseball. In addition, the height of both is 1.85m, Gary Parsons They had to be free to choose their careers. Although the youngest Chase Parsons liked basketball, his talent was really limited. In the end, he could only follow his grandfather's footsteps and walk into a financial company.
But God still took care of this family, the youngest Chandler Parsons rose to 1.88 meters when he was 14 years old, and then he was very tall during the 2 to 3 years of puberty. Quickly break through the 2 meter mark. Grandfather Don Parsons values his grandson's basketball career very much.

freshman season,Parsons, who was not valued by the head coach ( Donovan), averaged only 8.1 points and 4 rebounds per game. As the team’s main players participated in the NBA draft, Chandler Parsons got even better. More playing time and tactical execution. In his junior and senior seasons, he started 53 games in 70 games, of which he averaged 11.3 points, 7.8 points and 3.8 assists in the senior season.
is more eye-catching than the average per game. Parsons has a 100-round offensive efficiency of 112.4 and a 100-round defensive efficiency of 96. Such a huge positive difference makes Parsons one of the best Excellent players who have a positive influence on the game.

Jordan Hill and Budinger took out the starters and replaced them with center Chandler and second-round pick Parsons.
As a second-rounder, Parsons won this opportunity not easy. In that team of rockets without a leader, Parsons is not the team’s main attacker. He did it well. The defensive performance of his own ability has won the trust of coach McHale. He played in 63 games in his rookie season and averaged 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. For an NBA second-round pick, it can be said to be a dream start.
In the summer of 2012, the Rockets management made drastic reforms. The team's striker Budinger was traded to Timberwolves in exchange for a 2012 first-round pick. Lori was traded to the Raptors in exchange for the 2013 first-round pick, and at the same time cut the "Diamond" Scola.
The craziest trade this summer is: Kevin Martin and Lamb, two first-round picks and one second-round pick, in exchange for the Thunder's third-ranked James Harden, confirming the rebuilding of the team. Cornerstone. But this summer the Rockets management also signed Jeremy Lin and Asik with two premium contracts, which is the only flaw in perfection!

4. The beginning of the turning point of fate
In the 13-14 season, the Rockets signed and Howard for 88 million in four years, and the Morden combination was officially born. In this season, Parsons also It set a record of 10 three-pointers in the first half of NBA history. This record was not tied until 2018 by Warriors marksman Klay Thompson. Lost to the Trail Blazers in the first six games of the playoffs. The combination of Lillard and Aldridge made the Rockets fans still remembered.
In the summer of 2014, Parsons, who is about to become a free agent, was favored by many teams. At that time, the Mavericks, who had not yet changed their name to the Mavericks, offered him a total of 46 million. The annual contract, the Rockets, who have always been stingy, were unable to match, and finally watched Parsons come to the current Lone Ranger.
came to the new team's Parsons and helped the Mavericks (now the Mavericks) start the game with an outstanding record of 15 wins and 5 losses. The team also traded for in the middle of the season. Green Army won the championship core point guard Rondo, ready to hit the championship this season.

In the end, he entered the playoffs with only seventh in the Western Conference. In the playoffs, the Rockets led by Harden easily eliminated 4-1.Parsons, who was troubled by a knee injury this season, can still average 15.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. He is an absolutely qualified three-header!
In the 15-16 season, Parsons has been hitting and stopping due to injuries. In the middle of the season, his three-point shooting rate was as high as 41.4%, but in March 2016, the Mavericks and the Warriors After the team game, Parsons announced that he would undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and was reimbursed for the season.

5. Injuries struck and career ended
In the 16-17 season, Parsons missed multiple Grizzlies games due to injury, and his performance on the field was officially back. More like a rookie player, with a 33.8% shooting percentage, a blessed body, and a slow lateral speed, his strength on the court is obviously incompatible with the NBA.
To make matters worse, in March 2017, Parsons underwent a meniscus resection of his right knee and was reimbursed for the season. In the three years with the Grizzlies, Parsons played 95 games for the team, averaging only 7.2 points per game, but he led the Grizzlies with a salary of $69.34 million.

Of course he did not contribute nothing to the Grizzlies.In the summer of 2017, when Parsons held a basketball training camp, a high school student who had no reputation at the time was discovered by a college assistant and eventually went to college. This is the current Grizzlies leader’s Morant !
After that, Parsons has lost all his basketball skills except for being handsome. In 2020, Parsons was involved in a car accident with a drunk driving man on his way home from training.
