2011 NBA Mock Draft: Comparing Expert Opinions, Spurs Take Chandler Parsons

2011 NBA Mock Draft Sees San Antonio Spurs Taking Chance on Parsons at No. 29

There's a lot of uncertainty facing the San Antonio Spurs this offseason, it might be time to move players like Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. 

Regardless, it's wise never to underestimate a Gregg Popovich basketball team.  Parsons comes from a very solid program in Billy Donovan's Florida basketball team and brings a very high basketball IQ.

Doug Gottlieb writes:

Like Honeycutt he can disappear in a heartbeat, as he did in the Elite Eight against Butler, but he is as close to a European-type of game as anyone in college hoops. Makes others better, needs to get stronger.

Parsons has range with his shot and has excellent passing skills for a forward.  Although ESPN's Chad Ford doesn't see Parsons as a first round pick in his version 1.1 mock draft, he's exactly the kind of talent that a veteran squad like the Spurs could use.

My pick: Chandler Parsons, SF, Florida
Height: 6'8"
Weight: 218 lbs.
