To anyone who thinks Jeremy Pargo is an NBA-caliber guard...

...let me send you a tape of tonight's St. Mary's-Gonzaga game. It's a microcosm of what type of guard he is, which is an awful guard.

If you want a headstrong (that's not a compliment), spotty, poor-shooting, out-of-control, irresponsible guy running your team, draft Pargo. If you want a player who takes over the game (again, not a compliment), who can lead by example and who makes good decisions, do the right thing and stay away.

Jeremy Pargo, in one offseason, has gone from a potential first-round draft pick who had NBA scouts ogling over his gritty, Chicago background to a guy who single-handedly blew the game against Connecticut, was the primary catalyst in the loss to Portland State, is in the midst of screwing over the Zags against WCC rival St. Mary's and has zero tools that would make a good point at the highest level (he's kind of like Stephon Marbury, except worse and without his own stupid trademark).

The stats at halftime (5 points, 2 turnovers, no assists) don't do it justice... you need to watch the game to understand. Just when Gonzaga has a chance to gain some momentum, Pargo takes over and crushes it. Or, in a 37-33 game with 40 seconds remaining in the half, Pargo has a chance to run the clock down to about 10 seconds and still get a quality shot off for someone. Instead, he drives in the lane against two people, trying to simply draw a foul (oh, he's a 65.8% FT shooter), gets no call and rightfully so, all while taking 10 seconds off the clock, allowing the Gaels to add another couple of points and take a 39-33 halftime lead.

If there's one thing worse than his offense, it's his defense. His counterpart, Patty Mills, has 18 points on six threes (a career high) and has made Pargo look bad for 20 minutes.

Oh, and he has the worst haircut in the NCAA. That's a fact.
