Chandler Parsons to come off Grizzlies' bench this season

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons will come off the bench this season, head coach David Fizdale confirmed on Sunday.

What It Means:

Fizdale intends to use Parsons more as a power forward than a small forward this season, meaning his primary role will be as JaMychal Green's backup. After playing in only 34 games last year, Parsons is healthy and ready for Wednesday's opener against the New Orleans Pelicans. His limited usage restricts Parsons' fantasy value to deeper formats.

numberFire's models project Parsons to play 24.5 minutes per game this season while averaging 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 0.9 3-pointers.
