Jake Pargeon Jake Pargeon 6'0" | SG Urbandale | 2026 State IA dominated in every aspect of this game. For starters, his shot creation 1 on 1 was extremely impressive. Jake displayed high-level instincts and feel as a scorer. He showed himself to be a very in-control and smooth operator of the offense. This was mainly due to his calm demeanor with the rock. His balance and control when it came to breaking down his opponents off the dribble made him a constant worry for the opposing defense. He was elite at stepping back and creating space for jump shots. And even while stepping back, being off balance, and with a hand in his face, it didn’t seem to affect his shot much. He was very efficient on tough looks and hit many deep threes with a hand in his face. His main method of creating space is his change of pace and shiftiness. He used his scoring threat to get defenders on his hip and then stops and starts at will, drawing many fouls and allowing him to finish through contact at the rim. His elite footwork in the paint also made him a difficult matchup in the paint. He has a variety of euro steps that he uses to get himself angles to the rim, where he hit tough and-1 layups consistently. With his three-level shot creation, it is easy to see why Jake draws a lot of attention from the defense. And he was elite at finding open shooters and cutters off of his own creation. He also showcased an extremely impressive vertical that he used to detonate on the rim with two hands. He carried a huge offensive load in this game, and he was still able to be very impactful on the glass. He was also very effective defensively. He blocked multiple shots and got in passing lanes for steals.
