Parsons is better than Aminu without a doubt



Parsons is a much better shooter, but Aminu is a much better defender. Better rebounder, better at getting steals, much better shot blocker. Parsons is a better passer.

Even with parsons superior jumpshot, he's only averaging .7 ppg over aminu.

Interesting stat (albeit only 2.5 weeks into the season)

FG%
Parsons: 40.6%
Aminu: 50%

Shows Aminu's athleticism at getting to the basket and getting points in the paint. Parsons is obviously much more of a jump shooter.

I'm not saying Aminu is better than Parsons. I'm saying it's a wash.

Aminu can't even get on the all star ballot. Here's what Kobe says about parsons.
Bryant was asked by reporters if Parsons' defense was the reason he had an off night. Bryant shrugged it off, stating that the problem was him taking too many desperation shots at the end of the shot clock which ends up hurting his percentage. And then came the highly unusual praise.

"I love (Parsons), though. I do," Bryant said. "He can shoot from the outside, he can handle the ball, he rose to the challenge defensively. I think he has a really bright future and I don't say that a lot about a lot of people."
