Vargas finds different ways to score on the interior and does a nice job taking what the defense gives him. I like his ability to secure offensive rebounds and make the most of second-chance opportunities. Vargas shows flashes of being able to step out and play on the perimeter, adding another layer to his offensive game. He also does a nice job attacking in the half-court and consistently puts pressure on the defense.

A new name on the radar, Vargas impressed with a well-rounded skillset on the wing with positional size and projectable athletic tools. With Cheltenham facing a sizable early deficit, Vargas was key toward dragging the Panthers back into the game. He showed a smooth, versatile complementary game offensively, knocking down shots with a smooth stroke from the perimeter, offering some secondary ballhandling, and using his size to finish opportunistically in the teeth of the defense. We’ll look to evaluate him further moving forward, but if his play on Saturday was any indication then Vargas should have no problem finding a home at the small-college level when the time comes with a chance to blossom into a scholarship-level wing as he develops further.
