Though only in his rookie season in the Euroleague, Jeremy Pargo – Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv’s exceptional point guard – finished the playoffs (quarterfinals series) as the outstanding player, with an average index rating of 19.5. He was also second in the Euroleague in points scored (17.3), fifth in assists (4.3), fifth in the number of three-pointers scored (9), and fifth in steals (1.3). He was also the guard who pulled down the most rebounds, averaging 4 per game.
Pargo, who stepped up to fill the shoes of his good friend in the back line, the injured Doron Perkins, was one of the key people responsible for Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv’s impressive 3 -1 taking of the series against Caja Laboral, especially for his memorable game-winning three pointer at the end of game 2 in Spain, a play which quite possibly changed the outcome of the entire series.
Another exceptional player was the team’s center, Richard Hendrix, who led the playoff series with an average of 7.75 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. David Blu finished fourth in shooting with 14.5 points per game, and Chuck Eidson was fourth in steals with 1.75 per game.
