Jannero Pargo was acquired by the Chicago Bulls at the beginning of the 2009-2010 season. Pargo appeared in 63 games, starting in five. While Pargo is known as a scorer who can knock down jump shots in bunches, his averages were modest at best (5.5 points, 1.4 assists, 1.2 rebounds) in approximated 14 minutes per contest. Hopefully Pargo’s role will continue to expand going forward as every successful team in the league has a deep bench. This especially proves crucial in the post-season.

Pargo appeared 80 games for the New Orleans Hornets during the 2007-2008 season, including five starts. His regular season averages were 8.1 points, 2.4 assists, and 1.4 rebounds which is respectable considering his playing time was about 19 minutes per contest. Jannero Pargo also appeared in 10 playoff games for the Hornets averaging 10.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists but only shot 39% from the field.
