Duhon endorses getting Pargo if Knicks get DPE BY ALAN HAHN | alan.hahn@newsday.com January 11, 2009 HOUSTON - If the Knicks get word from the NBA this week that they can use a Disabled Player Exception to replace retired guard Cuttino Mobley, one target could be former Hornets guard Jannero Pargo, currently playing in Russia. "He can really shoot it and score and defend," said Chris Duhon, who played with Pargo with the Bulls from 2004-05 to 2005-06. "He definitely would be a big help." Duhon and Pargo train together in Chicago during the offseason and could work well off each other in the backcourt. Despite Pargo's point guard size (6-1, 175 pounds), he is known as more of a scorer than a playmaker. Duhon believes Pargo would fit well into Mike D'Antoni's up-tempo, spread offense and also would give the Knicks some needed perimeter defense. "I think he would do real well," Duhon said. "The court is always spread and he can shoot the ball real well. I think he'd do real well in this system." Pargo was one of a handful of free agents who opted to sign with European teams rather than take less money to stay in the NBA. He has a one-year, $3.5-million contract with Dynamo Moscow, but the deal has an opt-out for him to return to the NBA. Pargo averaged 8.6 points in the last two seasons with the Hornets as a key player off the bench behind Chris Paul. |
