Guard Jeremy Pargo (27 y.o., 188 cm) has become the first newcomer on our team this offseason. 2-year contract will come into effect after the medical tests.

Andrey Vatutin, PBC CSKA President:
It was very important for us to strengthen the point guard position. We consider Pargo to be the optimal candidate on the market this summer. He played big roles in the NBA last couple of seasons, besides he has good experience of playing in Europe. Jeremy sees the floor well, he is aggressive, he can defend. After the season overseas he drew big interest from American and European clubs. I am happy that he chose CSKA.

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
I am very happy to welcome Jeremy on our team. Over the years in Europe and United States he displayed strong personality and talent. He will definitely help us with his toughness, leadership and ability to play pick-n-roll. I am sure that he will be a good addition to our team.
