Chandler Parsons: 'I'm dying to play but it's out of my control'

NBA veteran Chandler Parsons opened up to HoopsHype about the strange circumstances surrounding the most recent few years of his pro career.

Parsons, 31, is currently on the active roster for the Atlanta Hawks and is in the final season of a maximum contract. That means next summer, the 6-foot-10 forward will become a free agent for the first time since the summer of 2016. As such, the market will be able to correct itself with a new deal for Parsons – who is eager to prove he still has plenty of gas left in the tank.

We spoke to the former SEC Player of the Year about the Hawks as well as his new home in Los Angeles, advice on training and more.

Q: When you hear those terms like “good locker room guy” and the like, what are some of the things that you’ve picked up along the way to become?

CP: Yeah. Just being there for them, answering questions, leading by example in practice and shootaround and film sessions and just helping out any way I can. Some of these guys like Cameron Reddish are 20 years old and for some of these guys, it’s all so new for them and it’s a long season. They’re pretty much at the length of their college season now, they basically have two more. It’s long. There’s still a lot of basketball to play and these guys are going to continue to get better. Just doing really anything they need, being another coach out there, things like that.
