Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6-foot-4 wing/guard has great movement off the ball, keeps moving to get to his shot spots, is accurate with the 3-ball off the catch, and uses the pump-fake to get his defender off the ground to open up lanes to attack off the dribble. Rigdon had a great showing at the Meet in the Middle showcase, as he would lead the Tritons in scoring to go undefeated in the round-robin style showcase and earned MVP honors in the process. Rigdon had 11 points in Pacifica Christian’s first win over Vanden of Fairfield, followed by 17 points connecting on 3 threes in the win over Weston Ranch of Stockton. I was not present on Day 3 of the event, but he would go for 30 points in the win over Destiny Christian of Sacramento. Rigdon has good handles, uses the crossover, behind cross, and the hesitation moves to get his defender off balance, gets good lift on the jumper with accuracy from the mid-range to the 3-point line, and is a crafty finisher around the basket with the Euro-step and reverse lay-ups to score around height in the paint. Rigdon crashes the glass, has the handles to push the pace of play, makes good reads for players up the court or teammates cutting off the ball, as well as timely dimes to bigs in the pick and roll action. Rigdon plays with a fast but controlled pace, has a great burst of speed off the bounce, and scores in volume.
